Tom Caddell

Tom Caddell started with Albertson's in 1971. After 20 plus years in the industry, Tom and his family decided to own and operate a grocery store they could call their own. In June of 1986, Tom and his family sold the store they had built. Tom then went to work for a large independent Food Broker, McFerren, Speaks, and Gustafson (MSG). While with MSG, Tom filled various management positions. In 1997, Tom was given the task of starting a retail services group for MSG, called Retail Services, Inc.(RSI). In November 1999 the broker was purchased by Acosta Sales and Marketing.

In October of 2000, Tom, while networking with Elaine decided to form a merchandising division, which led to the January 2001 creation of Merchandising Advantage Plus. Tom and Elaine both shared the vision of creating an industry leading merchandising services firm.

Tom is an active member with NARMS and has served in various capacities as a board member, and conference chairman in 2002.
