DisplayMax

What DisplayMax does

DisplayMax, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned retail services company headquartered in Howell, Michigan, founded in 1991 by Charlie and Sue Domen. The firm operates as an authorized Lozier Certified Provider and distributor, supplying gondola shelving (island, wall, and end cap configurations), liquor store and walk-in cooler shelving, wide span racking, and a full line of retail counters (checkout, transaction, convenience, big box sales, and food & beverage). Beyond hardware distribution, DisplayMax delivers turn-key retail execution services — store surveys (3D virtual, 360, and measure-and-verify), retail construction, fixture and decor installation, millwork, new store setup, store remodels, store resets, gondola relocation, and in-house retail electrical services — executed through dedicated in-house field teams across all 50 states. The company maintains a 35,000 sq ft warehouse stocking Lozier inventory in three standard colors for immediate shipment.

The business runs on two complementary revenue streams: hardware sales (Lozier fixture distribution with quote-based pricing, Net 30 terms, and a 50% deposit on custom orders) and professional services (installation, construction, and electrical work delivered via dedicated project managers and in-house crews of 4–12 field reps). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting national retail chains — evidenced by anchor engagements with Advance Auto Parts (1,000+ resets, 80 stores in 2019), ACE Hardware, The Home Depot, PetSmart, and Fresh Thyme Farmers Market (40+ of 66 openings since 2014) — supplemented by SMB convenience, liquor, and hospitality projects in Michigan and surrounding states. The company's differentiator is its proprietary "Relentless Execution Process," a six-strategy methodology underpinning a 100% Compliance Guarantee, positioning DisplayMax against industry data showing 62.9% of stores fall below 80% compliance on in-store initiatives. The firm remains independent with no institutional funding and no public revenue disclosure.
