History
Established in 2015.
We started as a hydro store in Gilroy in 2015, expanded to commercial in 2017 with private warehouse & trucks, opened a Salinas warehouse/store in 2019, then doubled-up the Gilroy site in 2023. Our Watsonville operation opened in Oct 2025, filling big shoes from the concurrently closed Specialty Garden Supply. From our hydroponics store roots, GrowBIG has evolved to support large scale commercial farming in addition to retail clients. Our regional delivery trucks support over 300 commercial farms from Southern Oregon to SoCal, with daily deliveries throughout 408-831-805 area codes. Our client base has expanded nationwide through customers moving East and through our online store and B2B Portal. All of our employees are experienced growers/trained experts and available to answer any questions about products to fit your needs.
