Rack Attack started as a single store back in 1996, and they have grown into North America's premier retailer of vehicle rack solutions. With locations across North America to ship from, their online customers experience shipping to their door in less time, for no cost (most of the time). If you live close to one of their store locations, they install everything they sell. Many in-store customers choose one of their 'factory style' rack installations. They have over one million happy customers, and you can count on them to ensure you are the next. As of 2017 Banyan Capital Partners and Rack Attack management have purchased the company from the original founder.
