Peggs

What Peggs does

The Peggs Company, Inc. is a third-generation, family-owned US manufacturer and lifecycle service provider for retail equipment, founded in 1960 and headquartered in Riverside, California. The company designs, engineers, and manufactures shopping carts (metal, plastic hybrid, and — with the August 2025 Matrix Series — the first all-plastic line in the US), merchandising displays, material handling equipment (U-boats, stock carts, rolling tables), hand baskets, cart corrals, and replacement parts across three manufacturing facilities totaling over 450,000 square feet in California, Virginia, and Terrell, Texas (the latter operated by wholly-owned subsidiary Renfro Industries).

Peggs operates a vertically integrated business model combining hardware sales with recurring professional and managed services. Revenue streams span one-time/perpetual-license hardware purchases (new and remanufactured carts, displays, parts), subscription-based preventative maintenance (multi-year contracts with 165 service technicians and 125 vehicles), remanufacturing/reconditioning services that extend cart life 5-7 years at up to 50% cost savings versus new, comprehensive fleet management programs, short-term rental, and White Glove delivery/installation. The Supercart co-developed Matrix Series carries patents pending for all-plastic construction, Forever Secure gates, gravity-drop seat frames, rolling caster lifts, and double-rim wire designs.

The company sells primarily to enterprise grocery and retail customers (including named supermarket chains such as Ralphs, a 183-store Southern California operator, plus West Coast, East Coast, and Upper Midwest supermarket chains), with additional secondary segments in convenience retail, hospitality and food service, and e-commerce/click-and-collect operations. GTM is a direct, field-based consultative sales motion with quote-based pricing; there are no public price lists and 250-piece minimums apply to custom Matrix Series colors. The company holds granted US patents for cart corrals (1964), the Revolution polyurethane wheel (1970s), refrigerated case dividers (1970s), and the Universal Shelf (1990s), with Matrix Series patents pending.
