OOGarden is a French e-commerce startup specializing in outdoor home products, founded by Sylvain LEGOUX in 2006. The company's exponential growth led to strategic decisions, such as leasing larger warehouses and opening multiple logistic platforms across France. To fuel its expansion, it partnered with Financière de la Rochette, Aquasourça, Sofimac, and €2.10M through a Private Equity Round from Aquasourça in January 2012.
The company extended its presence to international markets by launching websites in Belgium and Germany, culminating in the establishment of a subsidiary, OOGarden Germany GmbH, in 2017. Notably, OOGarden further expanded its operations with the opening of additional logistic sites in France, positioning itself closer to key urban centers to improve delivery timelines.
In 2020, OOGarden established its own fleet of 50 trucks to enhance its delivery capabilities, a number that is set to increase to 70 by 2021. These strategic moves showcase the company's commitment to sustainable growth and customer satisfaction. The most recent milestones include the opening of a new headquarters near Ambérieu-en-Bugey and a 5000 m2 site with a showroom in Haute Garonne.
OOGarden's ability to consistently double its annual turnover, coupled with international expansion and investments in infrastructure, positions the company as a promising player in the Consumer Goods, E-Commerce, and Lifestyle industries. This steady trajectory and strategic investments make OOGarden a compelling prospect for venture capital firms seeking to position themselves in the thriving e-commerce market.
