In July 2022, retailers

Kohl’s, Meijer and Giant Eagle began carrying products from Grove Co.’s cleaning line. This brick-and-mortar retail partnership includes educational end cap displays to educate customers on reducing plastic waste.[1]

Grove Collaborative officially went public June 17, 2022, on the New York Stock Exchange via its SPAC merger with Richard Branson’s Virgin Group Acquisition Corp.[2][3]

2022 Q1 revenue declined by 11% compared to Q1 2021.[3]

The company laid off 17% of its workforce not long after the Virgin SPAC merger to cut operating costs.[3]

Grove Collaborative was chosen by Fast Company as one of their top innovative companies for 2022.[2]

In April of 2022, actress and entrepreneur Drew Barrymore became an investor in Grove Collaborative.[4] She is the company’s first global brand and sustainability advocate. Barrymore will also work with the product development team to help the company achieve its goal of being plastic-free by 2025.[5]

In February, former

Burts Bees executive John Replogle was appointed chairman of Grove Collaborative’s board of directors.[3]

In early 2022, Grove Collaborative named Sergio Cervantes as its new CFO. Cervantes spent 18 years with Unilever and four years with Gillette.[5]

In 2021, Grove Collaborative hired former Amazon executive Jennie Perry to serve as its chief marketing officer.[6] Khgrove22 (talk) 22:15, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A few updates to the article

Hello:

I would like to propose a few additions/corrections to the Grove Collaborative article that I believe would improve it overall. All new content is in bold font. I appreciate the time and attention of those reviewing these recommendations. Best, RJZGroveCo (talk) 21:17, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The first is the second sentence of the lead. I’ve added in bold here the words I propose to add.

Grove Collaborative makes and sells its own environmentally friendly home and personal care products under its Grove Co. brand, as well as those of third-party companies.

  • The company was co-founded by three people. As the article is now, it only states Stuart Landesberg. I’m wondering if we could add the other two to the first sentence under the history section?

The company was founded in 2012 by CEO Stuart Landesberg, Chris Clark, and Jordan Savage under the name ePantry.[1]

  • Leadership changes.

In August 2023, Jeff Yurcisin became the new Chief Executive Officer of Grove Collaborative. Stu Landesberg transitioned from CEO to Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors.[2] RJZGroveCo (talk) 21:17, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
