Retail Space Solutions

What Retail Space Solutions does

Retail Space Solutions (RSS) designs, develops, and produces spring-loaded pusher merchandising systems, shelf displays, and peg merchandising fixtures used inside grocery and convenience-store coolers, freezers, and gondolas. Its core product family — SpaceGrid II, SpaceGrid Shelf, SpaceGrid DoubleSpace, SpaceGrid II On Bar, SpaceGrid HiGlide, Magna-Bar, ShelfHero, and SimpliStock Peg — is built around mechanical spring-pusher technology that keeps products front-faced and organized without manual conditioning, with stated compatibility with 97% of U.S. coolers. The flagship differentiator is the SwiftHook mounting mechanism (a granted patent) used in the SimpliStock Peg line, alongside a portfolio of registered trademarks covering the product family.

The company sells exclusively into U.S. retail through a direct enterprise field-sales motion, with no public e-commerce channel; pricing is quote-based and not disclosed. Revenue is generated through two streams: hardware sales of merchandising systems, and professional services (site assessments, ROI studies, warranties and support). Its primary customer vertical is grocery retail — with named customers including Walmart, Food Lion, Meijer, Ahold Delhaize, Whole Foods Market, and Albertsons — supplemented by a secondary convenience-store/candy vertical. RSS claims 90% of U.S. grocery stores use its shelf display systems and a 12-month average customer ROI.

Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (2727 Good Hope Rd), RSS is a privately held LLC operating as a division of Marmon Retail Solutions, itself a subsidiary of the Marmon Group, which is owned by Berkshire Hathaway. The company reports 11–50 employees, is U.S.-only in operating geography, and shows no independent fundraising history; strategic product launches continued through 2025 with the SpaceGrid II On Bar and SpaceGrid HiGlide introductions.
