In this episode of Blue Ocean by StartOps, we sit down with Summitt Hogue — Managing Partner at Growe, a commercial real estate firm helping 3PL operators and e-commerce brands find the right partners and warehouse space to scale.

Growe isn’t your typical brokerage. With a hyper-focus on representing 3PLs, they’ve become trusted growth advisors to their clients, offering site selection, labor insights, post-deal support, and even matchmaking with brands — all without charging the clients they serve.

We dive into Summitt’s approach to building partnerships that go beyond square footage, including:

• Growe’s thoughtful approach to aligning incentives between 3PLs, brands, and landlords
• What it takes to serve the 3PL space as a broker
• How Growe’s 3PL-brand matchmaking process works (and where it’s going in the future)
• Summitt’s top tips for both 3PL and brand operators

If you’re a 3PL operator trying to expand or a brand looking for your next 3PL, this one is for you.
