Restaurant Furniture Maker Randy's Booth Co. Finds Second-Generation Success.

Bert Kissoondath, credits the company’s success to his now 25 employees and his business adviser Antonelli indsay consulting for MEDA. Last year, Randy’s Booth Co. left its cramped space in Northeast for a plant and showroom in Crystal. It’s a refurbished former auto parts warehouse, about a $1.2 million investment thanks to an SBA-guaranteed loan through Highland Bank.

Sales have grown 20 percent annually for four years and should top $3 million a year. “Bert had to transition since his dad’s death from being a ‘doer’ to the leader,” said Antonelli Lindsay, Kissoondath’s business consultant for the past few years. “He came to Meda to find out what he needed to do to take the business to the next level. “He’s very smart and he acknowledges there are things he doesn’t know. He learns from the experts and his employees. He also works hard.”
