“Chris’s expertise and knowledge of the retail industry has proven to be indispensable. I have personally worked with Chris for many years with different clients, and he consistently proves to be a true professional.

No matter the size of the projects or new buildings that we have worked on, Retail Design Services has never let us down. They are dependable, always respond quickly and have helped us build great relationships with our franchisees as one of our top-quality approved vendors.”

– Michael J. Giordano, Marlton Specialty Lighting Group, NJ

“I have known Chris on a professional basis for over 25 years. During my tenure as CEO of GNC, as we grew the company to over 6,000 retail locations, Chris was always an innovation leader in our store design concepts, and a first-class executor with our construction processes and store buildout projects.

Over the past 10 years, I have secured Chris’s assistance through his company, Retail Design Services, to assist me with two market-leading national retail brands that I have personally led as CEO.

While there are many choices of companies you can select to represent your Design and Construction needs, in my experience and opinion, you will be hard-pressed to find a better choice than Chris and RDS. It all starts with Chris’s passion for excellence, his strong national network of General Contractors, his consistent focus on process efficiencies and cost savings, and his commitment to quality and timely outcomes.”

– Michael K. Meyers

“I’ve worked with Chris DeNelle and RDS (Retail Design Services) for well over a decade on virtually hundreds of projects; hands down he is one of my most trusted trades in this industry. From surveys to design, plans to roll-outs, RDS gets it done with a comprehensive, no-nonsense and transparent view of scope, timeline and costs. The hard part of our business is finding great people, the easy part is keeping them once you find them. RDS is always my first call…”
