A Sure Sign: Connecting Longtime Sign Company Right Buyer
Mack Thompson’s career in the sign business started early. As a high school student in Oklahoma, he painted signs for local businesses. He later moved to Fort Smith and went to work for a local company, painting and installing signs. Eight years later, he opened his own sign company, and he’s been serving Fort Smith and the surrounding area ever since. The company has grown by leaps and bounds over the years, but just like the name implies, Mack Thompson & Son Signs is a family business and they have always taken an immense amount of pride in their work. That’s why when Thompson decided it was time to retire and sell his business, it was important to him to find the right buyer. So, he reached out to REP and we were able to make a connection.
Richard Scott, the owner of TD Awnings, had purchased it from one of our previous clients, and because we had the opportunity to get to know him during that transaction, we believed there could be a solid partnership between the two companies. And there was. Scott and partner, Isaac Davis, purchased the company, and plan to continue to follow in Thompson’s footsteps to provide a valued service to the area.
