Business Spotlight: Grow What You Know

A Springfield hydroponic gardening supply store is closing.

Harvest Grow Supply LLC, which operates at 1332 N. Glenstone Ave., announced in a Facebook post yesterday that Aug. 31 would be its last day in business.

"We appreciate all the support from our loyal customers for the last five years," the post reads. "Keep growing, keep being awesome and keep supporting small businesses."

In a comment on the post, a Harvest Grow Supply official said, "It's difficult to compete with online." Owner Daniel Jalaly was not available for comment at the store this morning.

Jalaly opened Harvest Grow Supply in 2019 to sell the equipment needed to grow all types of plants using both the hydroponic system and regular soil, including for the budding new marijuana industry, according to past Springfield Business Journal reporting. In 2021, he opened a second location in Hartville that is no longer in operation.

The 6,000-square-foot building in Springfield is owned by the Mark F. Keeven Trust, according to Greene County assessor records. Previous uses of the building have been for Pitbull Powersports, R&S Floral and Movie Gallery.
