Our Story
History
Established as a family-run enterprise, Rapid Retail has grown into the UK's leading supplier of modular retail units, collaborating with top sporting venues, brands, retailers, festivals, and visitor attractions across the UK and Europe.
How It All Began
Established in 2007 with a view to occupy a niche market, supplying high-quality branded retail units. The idea being that sports clubs, venues and retailers could enhance sales opportunities as opposed to selling from traditional ‘market-stalls’.
Rapid Growth, Rapid Results
Within 3 years of operation, Rapid Retail’s products were widely used across sports venues, including Manchester City, FC Barcelona & Arsenal. Their needs and feedback helped shape range of products available today.

In 2014, Rapid Retail was featured in an issue of The Guardian, highlighting the success of a small business catering to the biggest brands and sports clubs in the world. And in 2015, Rapid Retail entered the supermarket retail space through its turnkey store service for Co-op.
