About Us

LX Group is a family-owned business that’s been serving the foodservice and equipment industry for over 30 years. It all started with a young immigrant woman who simply wanted to support her family. She worked tirelessly—driving semi-trucks while pregnant, taking no days off, and doing every job herself—to build what has become a trusted, dependable partner for customers across North America.

Restaurant Equipment Market (REM, is where it all began. From our flagship store in Atlanta to our growing network of branches, REM has become a go-to destination for customers who value great service, practical solutions, and honest relationships.

Our second-generation leadership grew up in the business—literally. He started tagging price labels in the warehouse at age 12, later working in nearly every role in the company: from driving a delivery truck and building furniture to managing sales, customer service, and other company functions. That hands-on journey shapes the way we lead—with humility, hustle, and a deep respect for the people who keep our business running.

Today, we’re building on that foundation—modernizing our operations, expanding our reach, and strengthening our team. We are now seeking a Retail Sales Manager to lead REM’s retail sales performance, expand its regional footprint, and ensure exceptional customer experience at scale. If you’re seeking purpose, autonomy, and the opportunity to shape the future of a thriving family enterprise, we’d love to meet you.
