original hydroponic retailers, strongly positions GrowGen in the Michigan market and will add $4 Million to
our top line revenue to our consolidated financial statements. Adding the team at SGS and its iconic stores, is a major win for

CEO Comments:
Commenting
on the sale of SGS, Jeffrey Gibson, CEO and Founder said,
"In November of 1983, Superior Growers Supply (SGS)
started as a mail order business operating out of a small barn. The first, and only, product available for sale was a 1000-watt
metal halide light kit. Since that time SGS has become one of the leading retail hydroponic and indoor gardening supply
merchants in the USA. We feel GrowGen is the company to continue our long-standing tradition of serving the growers in the Michigan market".
