Ameribrands, a diversified platform of specialized businesses serving the restaurant, retail, hospitality, entertainment, education and facilities sectors, recently announced the acquisition of Randal Retail Group, a leading provider of retail design, fixture manufacturing, merchandising displays and installation services. The acquisition significantly strengthens Ameribrands’ retail capabilities and advances its strategy of building a premier national platform for branded environments and customer experience solutions. The transaction closed on July 31, 2026.
The addition of Randal Retail expands Ameribrands’ ability to design, build, and install high-quality retail and restaurant environments at national scale. With more than 40 years of experience serving some of the most recognized brands in retail and restaurants, Randal Retail adds proven expertise in design, engineering, fabrication, and field execution that complements Ameribrands’ manufacturing, construction, installation, and facility services businesses. The transaction reflects Ameribrands’ broader approach of partnering with market-leading companies that serve national customers across multiple industries.
“Randal Retail is exactly the type of company we seek to partner with,” said Rodney Strickland, President and CEO of Ameribrands. “Chris and his team have built an outstanding reputation for quality, innovation, and customer service, making Randal Retail a natural fit within the Ameribrands family. As our third acquisition this year, Randal Retail expands our best-in-class capabilities in retail design, manufacturing, and branded environments while strengthening our ability to serve customers across multiple industries nationwide. We are excited to welcome the Randal Retail team and look forward to accelerating growth together as we continue building a diversified platform of market-leading companies.”
“Joining Ameribrands marks an exciting new chapter for Randal Retail,” said Chris Randazzo, President of Randal Retail Group. “From our earliest conversations, it was clear that our organizations share a commitment to customer service, operational excellence and long-term growth. Ameribrands provides additional scale and resources that will help us better serve our customers while preserving the culture and reputation our team has worked hard to build. We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.”
Randal Retail will continue operating under its established brand, maintaining its commitment to customers, employees and partners while leveraging the infrastructure, relationships and strategic support available through the Ameribrands platform.
“This acquisition represents another important milestone in the execution of Ameribrands’ long-term growth strategy,” said Dr. David Panton, Chairman of Ameribrands. “Randal Retail brings exceptional craftsmanship, deep customer relationships and a highly respected brand. Together, we are building a stronger platform that delivers greater value to customers, employees and stakeholders while creating new opportunities for continued expansion.”
Since its formation in 2023, Ameribrands has executed four strategic acquisitions in under two years, demonstrating its commitment to building a leading platform serving the retail, restaurant, hospitality, and commercial facilities industries. The acquisition of Randal Retail marks Ameribrands’ fourth completed transaction, joining Commercial Hospitality Solutions (CHS), a provider of construction and retrofit programs for multi-site hospitality and retail operators; Genesis Hotel Services, a provider of interior renovation and remediation services for major hotel brands; and Allied Stainless, a provider of stainless steel food service equipment acquired in March 2024. Together, these businesses expand Ameribrands’ capabilities across construction, renovation, equipment manufacturing, project execution, and facility services while strengthening its ability to serve multi-location national brands throughout North America. The Ameribrands portfolio also includes Ameritech Facility Services, which specializes in nationwide equipment rollouts, renovations, and remodels for commercial facilities; Access Pro Supply, a supplier and distributor of bathroom fixtures and equipment; and Adaptive Construction Management, a provider of project management services to corporate clients.
