Well, moving from Maine to South Carolina should really reduce their cost of operation. And probably the hourly wage running the plant.
I’m not familiar with the company. I sold store fixtures (and other things) for 2 wholesale distributors. I assembled many brands in remodels, but most of what I sold was Lozier. Fine company, pleasure to work with. I can still remember some of the part numbers for basic units.
For 5-1/2 years I did nothing but plan and set stores. (total of 35 years in the business) New and remodel projects. It was always a challenge with used fixtures.
Most big corporations buy new fixtures at each remodel. Independent retailers often reuse what they have. Used fixtures are never a bargain unless you absolutely steal them.
