Aug. 8, 2011 - Napa Home & Garden, Inc., a leading home accents and
garden wholesaler, announces that the company’s assets have been
acquired by Teters Floral Products, Inc., a leader in the permanent
floral and decorative accessories industry. Transaction details were
finalized on August 4th, after the two organizations entered into an
agreement for Teters to purchase assets related to the core Napa home
& garden business.
Napa also announces the company is taking orders as normal and shipping
from their Duluth, GA, facility, now as Napa Home & Garden, a
division of Teters Floral. Napa founders, Jerry and KC Cunningham, will
direct Napa operations and the company will maintain showrooms at the
Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, High Point and Los Angeles markets. Napa will
continue to utilize their sales force of over 75 independent
representatives.
“My wife, KC, and I look forward to providing the elegant and tasteful
home and garden products our customers have come to expect,” said Napa
founder Jerry Cunningham, “only now with the financial and operational
support of such a strong owner as Teters. Buyers will now experience a
bigger and better Napa Home & Garden.”
“We at Teters have been admirers of the Napa team, product offering, and
approach to customer service for quite some time,” said Mark Johnson,
CEO of Teters. “We believe the synergies between Teters and Napa will
expand the capabilities of both groups tremendously.”
