Crap that is where I got my grommets. I wonder how this is going to affect things.

Didn't use Advantage much and use Grimco as little as possible. We are lucky to have several great independent sign suppliers in New England, Gartson and Hart get most of my business and there is also New England Sign Supply, NEPCO and Hyatts.

I have worked with many nice people at Advantage over the years I hope they get to keep their jobs.

Usually after about a month after Grimco takes over a place, they will have a big sale on overstocked inventory.

I fired Grimco 4-5 years ago because they screwed up my order not once, not twice not 3 times and got it right on the 4th try all in one day, and after that they seemed to never get my orders correct. Their service sucks!

Does not look like you firing them has hurt their bottom line. They have made enough to buy Advantage.

when Grimco bought Alumapanel, they tossed everyone out and we in Alabama lost the best source for aluminum that we have ever had. There was absolutely no sense in them buying them out and dismantling that whole complex. Someone obviously is on a mission to be the "walmart" of sign goods

It's called progress......... Supply & Demand. Learn to live with it or it will eat you up alive.

I do not think Walmart buys out businesses, they put them out of business with their lower pricing on products. Grimco does not have rock bottom pricing.
