The grocery industry continues to evolve as retailers invest in store environments that improve the customer experience while supporting operational efficiency. From fresh departments and perimeter merchandising to remodel programs and new store openings, grocery stores need flexible fixture and display solutions that can adapt to changing shopper expectations.
To further strengthen its capabilities in this market, Agility Retail Group, a partner company of San Francisco Equity Partners (SFEP), has acquired Marco Display Specialists, LLC (The Marco Company), a leading manufacturer of retail fixtures and displays serving the grocery sector. The acquisition marks Agility Retail’s fifth transaction since partnering with SFEP.
Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, The Marco Company has spent more than four decades helping grocery retailers execute customized fixture and merchandising programs for remodels, refreshes, and new store development. The company is particularly well known for its expertise in produce, bakery, deli, floral, and wine departments, as well as its dedicated wood, metal, and plastic fabrication facilities and nationwide warehousing capabilities.
The addition of Marco significantly expands Agility Retail’s ability to support grocery retailers and convenience store operations with integrated store environment solutions. Together, the organizations now offer a comprehensive portfolio that includes store fixtures, décor, signage, millwork, and merchandising displays, all supported by a national manufacturing and installation network.
This acquisition also builds on Agility Retail’s recent momentum in the grocery channel. In 2025, the company acquired Moon International, adding extensive capabilities in custom décor, graphics, checkstand lighting, and branded in-store environments for grocery and convenience retailers. Combined, these investments have created a broader platform designed specifically to help retailers modernize stores and execute programs consistently across multiple locations.
Following the acquisition, Agility Retail now operates eight facilities across the United States with more than one million square feet of manufacturing capacity and a team of more than 500 employees.
For retailers, architects, and store design teams, the expanded organization offers the convenience of a single partner capable of delivering everything from custom millwork and perimeter fixtures to signage packages and promotional merchandising displays. As retailers continue to focus on store modernization and experiential shopping, having access to scalable manufacturing, reliable supply chains, and nationwide execution capabilities has become increasingly important.
“Marco is a highly respected provider within the store fixtures industry and has an exceptional track record of growth, operational excellence, and customer service,” said Peter Stevens, CEO of Agility Retail. “The combination will continue to build out Agility Retail’s manufacturing capabilities and geographic reach and allow us to better serve both Agility Retail’s and Marco’s customer base.”
David Mannix, Partner at SFEP, added, “Marco is a highly complementary business with strong customer relationships, an experienced team, and a shared commitment to delivering a high-touch service to its retail partners. The breadth and strength of the company’s design, manufacturing, and procurement capabilities make Agility a unique platform in the industry.”
As grocery retailers continue to invest in remodels, store refreshes, and new concepts, the combined strengths of Agility Retail Group and The Marco Company position the organization to help retailers create engaging, efficient, and brand-consistent store environments nationwide.
