GeoCentral acquires Red Carpet Studios, expanding its wholesale presence

GeoCentral, a leader in the wholesale gift industry known for its expertly curated souvenir, wellness and children’s offerings, announced its acquisition of Red Carpet Studios (RCS Gifts), a well-established brand specializing in garden décor, home  accents, and holiday giftware. This strategic acquisition brings together two innovative companies, enhancing GeoCentral’s product offerings and strengthening its position in the marketplace. 

For more than 45 years, GeoCentral has been a trusted source of high-quality, trend-forward gifts and décor, widely recognized for its children’s enrichment kits, boxed wellness crystal collections, crystal jewelry, natural home decor, and loose stones and displays. With the addition of Red Carpet Studios, the company expands its portfolio to include RCS Gifts’ signature garden décor, wind chimes, and whimsical home accessories, offering wholesale buyers a broader and more diverse selection. 

“The decision to sell was a necessity for the legacy and longevity of the company we proudly built,” said Mitchell Latch, co-owner of Red Carpet Studios. “This was made easier knowing GeoCentral  will continue the business alongside our employees, many of whom have been with us 20-plus years. We appreciate the dedication and loyalty of those employees and enjoyed working alongside them  every day. We will miss the people we met along the way, the company we built, and the industry that has given us so much. In memory of [fellow co-founder] Paul [Schenz]. Godspeed.” 

RCS Gifts’ existing product lines will continue to be available through all current sales channels,  ensuring a seamless transition for existing customers while introducing new collaborations and  innovations in future collections.
