How do you grow a family-owned business into one of North America's leading retail activation companies?

In this episode of Commercial Construction Coffee Talk, David Corson sits down with Brad Robinson, CEO of KD Displays, to explore the company's remarkable journey.

Founded in 1984, KD Displays began by specializing in floorcovering point-of-purchase (POP) displays. The company's name—KD, meaning "Knock Down"—reflects its early focus on flat-packed displays that customers assembled on-site.

Today, KD Displays has evolved into a full-service retail activation company, designing and manufacturing innovative retail displays, fixtures and merchandising solutions that help brands engage customers and enhance the in-store shopping experience.

Brad discusses:

• The history of KD Displays and its family-owned roots
• How retail merchandising has evolved over the past four decades
• The importance of design, innovation and manufacturing
• Creating engaging retail environments that drive sales
• Sustainability and operational efficiency
• The future of retail activation and point-of-purchase displays

Whether you're involved in retail, commercial construction, merchandising, manufacturing, branding or store design, this episode offers valuable insights into creating memorable customer experiences.
