About Sunday

Sunday is on a mission to empower everyone to care for their little plot of land. The simple act of getting outside, getting your hands dirty, and caring for your home is more than it seems. It's a reconnection to something written in our DNA, and it's at the core of us working together toward a better planet.

We're bringing safer, science-backed products and personalized, data-driven guidance to the American yard. Our in-house R&D team builds the products. The largest soil database ever created, along with Sunny, our AI yard companion, tailors a plan to every home.

In 2024 we helped our one millionth customer. Today Sunday offers 75+ products across lawn, garden, pest control, and pet, sold online and in about 7,000 stores nationwide, including Home Depot, Walmart, Target, and Costco. On any spring weekend, roughly 750 people are out in their yard using Sunday at any given moment. Sunday is becoming a household name, and we're making a dent.

  • Supplier Performance: Prepare and maintain supplier scorecards covering on-time delivery, quality, and cost. Participate in supplier meetings, documenting key decisions, action items, and follow-up activities.
  • Cost Tracking & Analysis: Monitor production costs and tolling invoices against established standards, investigate discrepancies, and support cost-savings initiatives.
  • Special Projects & Rework: Partner with the Logistics Coordinator to schedule and track rework, kitting, and display-build activities.
