Creative Surfaces Expands to Las Vegas with Gaming-Focused Facility

Lynx Equity is proud to spotlight the recent expansion of its portfolio company, Creative Surfaces Inc., into a new market with the opening of a service facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. This strategic move reflects Creative Surfaces’ continued leadership in the gaming industry and signals exciting growth ahead for the company as it brings its expertise closer to a key customer base.

Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Creative Surfaces is a full-service designer, manufacturer, and installer of custom cabinetry, countertops, and interior signage.  

The decision to open a Las Vegas facility was driven by the geographic shift of key clients and a strategic initiative to increase proximity to the gaming industry’s heartland. “Most of our gaming customers are based in Las Vegas,” explained Justin Pins, Vice President of Supply Chain. “Being closer to them allows us to serve them more efficiently and build deeper relationships.”

The new warehouse and service facility, which officially went into operation in early March, operates exclusively for gaming signage. The Las Vegas site is intentionally designed to streamline operations for gaming clients, offering faster turnaround and on-the-ground support. “This is all about better servicing our existing clients,” said Pins.  

While the expansion represents a major milestone, it has not been without its challenges. After over two decades operating exclusively out of South Dakota, Creative Surfaces faced challenges navigating the complexities of state and local permitting in Nevada. “In South Dakota, you can do a lot more with fewer restrictions,” said Pins. “Vegas is competitive, space was hard to find, and every part of the process needed a permit. It took time, patience, and outside help to get it done right.”

Despite these hurdles, early signs point to a successful launch. The Las Vegas facility has already begun fulfilling orders, with product manufacturing ramping up in the coming weeks. The customer response has been overwhelmingly positive. “Our clients are thrilled,” Pins added. “Being local makes it easier to collaborate and deliver what they need especially when the competition is based overseas or out of state.”

Looking ahead, Creative Surfaces is focused on building market share and becoming an active member of the Las Vegas business community. “Growth is a good thing — especially in this industry and economy,” said Pins. The team is taking a careful, measured approach to expansion, hiring thoughtfully, and reinforcing company values and communication at every stage.

Lynx Equity congratulates Creative Surfaces on this exciting step and looks forward to supporting the company’s continued success in this dynamic and rapidly evolving market.
