Our Story
Family-Run. Owner-Led. Built to Last.
For four decades, Porter Merchandising Services has executed retail programs at national scale — built on quality, integrity and dependability, and led by the people whose name is on the door.
Who we are
Forty years of getting it right the first time
PMS — Porter Merchandising Services — is a women-owned, family-run firm led by Kristen and Bart Porter. For 40+ years we've done one thing exceptionally well: execute retail programs at national scale, store by store, on schedule.
Our leadership brings 80+ years of combined experience in retail merchandising and execution, and that experience shows up on the floor. We work both sides of the aisle — directly for big-box retailers and for the vendor brands that sell on their shelves — which is why our resets, rollouts and installs go in clean the first time.
From a five-minute fixture swap to month-long resets, in all 50 states, the standard never changes: quality, integrity, dependability.

Our crews
Vetted, Trained, Self-Performed
We don't broker your work to whoever's nearest. Our field crews are directly managed and vetted — many of our installers and crew leaders are forklift-certified — and we scale from a single tech to large reset teams without losing the standard.
