What Canada's Best Store Fixtures does

Canada's Best Store Fixtures (CBSF) is a Canadian retail environment design-build firm that designs, manufactures, and installs custom store fixtures for enterprise retailers across grocery, pharmacy, fashion, food and beverage, and specialty retail verticals. The company operates four owned facilities in Ontario encompassing roughly 132,000 square feet of manufacturing and distribution capacity, covering custom wood millwork (40,000 sf), custom metal fabrication (15,000 sf), acrylic/plastic/glass and signage (12,000 sf), and a 65,000 sf distribution hub with 25 loading bays. Its head office is in Woodbridge, Ontario, with a Western Canada regional office in Edmonton, Alberta. CBSF positions itself as a single-source provider that consolidates design, prototyping, fabrication, logistics, installation, and merchandising under one accountable team, supported by FSC-certified sustainable sourcing and a workforce averaging 20 years of industry experience.

CBSF generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven engagements for custom fixture design-build, with multi-year national program contracts for large retailers (illustrated by the 1,200-location Shoppers Drug Mart lock-up program and the 130-project Longo's relationship). The company also sells standardized product lines such as Lozier pharmacy shelving, gondola shelving, shopping and stock carts, and sneeze-guard protective shields. Customer mix spans independent and mid-market retailers (Healthy Planet, Summerhill Market, Vapours Canada, Frank Oak) up to large enterprise and franchise chains (Canadian Tire, Longo's, Shoppers Drug Mart, Pet Valu, Circle K, Starbucks, Purolator, TSC, Lowe's Canada). Distribution is direct-to-business enterprise field sales with no intermediaries, supported by content marketing via case studies, vertical industry pages, video content, and a bi-monthly email newsletter reaching over 400 retail professionals.

CBSF was founded in 2008 and operates as a subsidiary of LSI Industries (NASDAQ: LYTS) following LSI's 2024 acquisition announcement, sitting within a portfolio of retail solutions brands that includes JSI Store Fixtures, ADL Technology, Atlas Lighting, EMI Industries, LSI ADAPT, LSI Digital, LSI Lighting, Royston Group, and Carter.
