GMS Supply LLC, owned by the George family, says it has completed the purchase of Greenhouse Megastore assets from BFG Supply Co. The retailer will keep its name and says it remains operational, with orders being accepted and fulfilled without interruption. The new owners say their immediate priorities include inventory, vendor relationships and employee support.
GMS Supply LLC, owned by the George family, says it has completed the acquisition of Greenhouse Megastore’s assets from BFG Supply Co., returning the business to the family that founded its predecessor. The retailer will continue operating under the Greenhouse Megastore name, and the new owners say it is accepting and fulfilling orders without interruption.
Ben and David George’s father, David L. George, founded International Greenhouse Company in 1993. The business later became Greenhouse Megastore. The brothers said the acquisition gives their family a chance to reconnect with the company after it was sold in 2021. The announcement describes the transaction as a purchase of the business’s assets; it does not provide a purchase price or detail the assets included.
Greenhouse Megastore serves commercial growers, gardening enthusiasts, schools and institutions, selling greenhouse structures, equipment and growing supplies. The company says customers with open orders or pending quotes can continue working with its team, while vendors can use their existing contacts. The announcement says the business is fully operational.
The new owners’ immediate priorities include replenishing inventory, strengthening vendor partnerships and supporting employees. A press release said the ownership team plans to focus on knowledgeable staff, dependable service, product quality and customer support. David George is to serve as chief financial officer; Ben George is CEO and president of GMS Supply.
Continuity for Greenhouse Customers
The acquisition matters to customers and suppliers because it gives Greenhouse Megastore a new owner amid the bankruptcy proceedings of its former parent, BFG Supply. The company’s statement that it is still taking and fulfilling orders offers an immediate update for buyers who may have wondered whether the change in ownership would disrupt deliveries or open quotes. It says existing customer and vendor relationships can continue through the same team and contacts.
The new ownership’s stated plans also point to practical priorities rather than a public announcement of major changes to the business. Inventory availability, supplier coordination and employee support will affect the retailer’s ability to serve customers, but the company has not provided specific targets, timelines or details of planned investment. The announcement establishes the owners’ intentions, not the results of those efforts.

From 1993 Founder to New Owners
David L. George founded International Greenhouse Company in 1993, and it later operated as Greenhouse Megastore. The George brothers said the business was sold in 2021. They described the current purchase as a return to the family’s connection with the company and said they want to build on its customer relationships and history.
BFG Supply filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August and planned to sell substantially all of its assets at auction, according to the source report. Seventeen entities under the BFG brand were named in the filing, including DeCloet Greenhouse Manufacturing Ltd., Green-Tek LLC, L&L Nursery Supply Inc. and Gard’N-Wise Distributors Inc. BFG was described as a major independent wholesale horticulture supplier, with 15 locations and more than 1.5 million square feet of warehouse space. Before filing, it employed 461 workers in the United States and Canada.
“For our family, this is more than buying a business. It’s coming home to something my father started more than 30 years ago.”
— Ben George, CEO and president of GMS Supply LLC
Purchase Terms Still Undisclosed
The announcement does not disclose the purchase price, closing date or detailed terms of the asset acquisition. It also does not specify which assets, liabilities or contracts were included, or provide details about the ownership structure beyond identifying GMS Supply as a George family-owned company. The source report says BFG planned an auction of substantially all its assets, but it does not explain how this transaction relates to the wider bankruptcy sale process.
The company has said operations continue and named inventory, vendor relationships and employee support as immediate priorities. It has not published a timeline for replenishing stock, described any staffing changes or provided independent figures on order fulfillment. Those details may become clearer as the new owners carry out their plans.
Inventory and Supplier Priorities
GMS Supply says its immediate work will center on restocking inventory, strengthening vendor partnerships and supporting employees. Customers with open orders or pending quotes are directed to continue working with the Greenhouse Megastore team, and vendors are told to maintain their existing contacts.
The company has not announced a timetable for further operational updates or changes to its products and services. Readers will be able to assess the transition through subsequent information on stock availability, order fulfillment and any updates from the owners or the BFG bankruptcy proceedings.
