BFG Supply prepares Chapter 11 amid possible liquidation plans
The company is preparing for a sales process in court, with proceeds expected to go toward creditors including Ares Management.
Lawn and garden distribution firm BFG Supply is preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the coming weeks, with a possible liquidation also on the table, according to coverage cited by Yahoo Finance.
The report says BFG is expected to run a sales process through the court, using proceeds to pay creditors that include lender Ares Management. It also says the company is working with Goodwin as legal advisor on a restructuring that could be implemented either out of court or through a bankruptcy filing, though plans are not final.
Yahoo Finance adds that the company is laying off employees and declining new orders amid severe financial difficulties. It also notes BFG canceled multiple scheduled annual trade shows, citing financial struggles in an email obtained by the trade organization.
The broader backdrop includes data from Garden Research showing the U.S. gardening audience contracted for the first time since 2019, even as total spending reached an all-time high and lawn care grew by 26% in 2025, according to the same report.
