Bryan Bonine & Mary (Bonde) Bonine purchased the Foodservice division of Trendlines, Inc in 2000 and

renamed the company The Pinnacle Group.  Our manufacturers include furniture, equipment, smallwares and tabletop lines.  Our customers include traditional Equipment & Supply Dealers, Broadliners, Paper Houses, Rental Companies, Redistributors and Endusers.  We use several means of communication, marketing

strategies, demonstrations, enduser calls and trade show presence to promote the lines that we represent.

In 2004 our main office was opened in Bridgeton, MO located just west of St. Louis.  Our showroom is used to host dealer sales meetings, enduser presentations and open houses to showcase our lines.
