SCOTTS LAWNSERVICE NATIONAL EXPANSION

Since its founding in 1868, The Scotts Company has expanded and evolved into the world leader in lawn and garden products. When Scotts LawnService (SLS) was initiated in 1997, it started establishing a network of sites around the country to provide residential and commercial lawn care services using Scotts fertilizers. With dozens of sites to locate and lease, SLS realized that outsourcing the real estate services was necessary and they asked Pollina Corporate Real Estate for assistance. With single-point-of-contact service, Pollina Corporate handled all transactions out of its corporate office, providing consistent representation, full accountability, and convenient communication. With tenant-representation service, Pollina Corporate avoided the conflict of interest inherent with other real estate service providers that have their own property listings.

"Because Scotts LawnService is a rapidly expanding company with many real estate projects occurring simultaneously, we needed someone with the expertise of Pollina Corporate to be our single point of contact for transactions around the country. Your understanding of our operational needs and your experience with working on behalf of corporations in negotiating and structuring leases helped us achieve our corporate goals. We appreciate the responsiveness and attention to detail."
