Why It's Revolutionary: White's improved customer traffic and sales by implementing ideas generated from a focus group held in the spring. This research has helped reorganize special events and improve customer requested inventory. Also, the garden center is an extension of White's wholesale greenhouse operation, which allows them to offer unique, high-quality plants at competitive prices.
