Tim Quebedeaux, Retail KPI Consulting
Wednesday, October 15th, 2025, 8 am – 11:30 am
This workshop will give you a better understanding of analyzing your financial information to assess and improve profitability. Tim Quebedeaux of Retail KPI (Key Performance Indicators) has over twenty years of retail garden center experience. Tim has been a part of The Garden Center Group, specializing in financial management and analysis, since 2019.
More about Tim – After more than 20 years of experience in Garden Centers, Tim joined forces with Steve Bailey in 2019 to provide financial management and analysis to clients of The Garden Center Group. Steve selected Tim as his successor due to his strong numerical skills and unique ability to connect with Garden Center owners and managers through his extensive industry experience.
Tim’s roots in the green industry run deep, with both of his grandfathers involved in the field—one as a farmer and the other as a Horticulture Professor. It’s no surprise that he found his calling in this field. While earning his bachelor’s degree in Ornamental Horticulture from LSU, with minors in Mathematics and Psychology, Tim began his career at Clegg’s Nursery and has never looked back.
After graduation, Tim and his wife relocated to Atlanta, where he took on management roles at Pike Family Nursery. Over the next eight years, he managed various stores in the Atlanta area and witnessed the transition to Armstrong Garden / Pike Nursery ownership. His journey then led him back home to Louisiana.
At Louisiana Nursery, Tim started by managing the POS system and signage programs before being promoted to Operations Manager and eventually General Manager. During his time there, he played a key role in transforming the company’s operations and merchandising strategy, embracing modern, open layouts and tighter inventory controls.
Today, Tim oversees The Garden Center Group’s Annual P&L Study, an exclusive, comprehensive analysis of profit and loss in the garden center industry. This industry-leading study compares sales, expenses, and percentage of sales for garden centers to Best Practices and High Achievers Groups, as well as overall reporting centers. It also includes valuable insights on inventory turns and margin targets by category.
