McKINNEY, Texas – January 23, 2023 – Fahey Group, an innovative holdings company committed to growth in the green industry, has announced that it will concentrate on expanding its robotic mowing and related businesses in Texas and California to support the shift toward electric-powered solutions in those markets. As a result, Fahey Group will exit its hospitality businesses and lawn and garden supply businesses based in Ohio.
Fahey Group’s Robin Autopilot USA will continue to focus on its role as a leader in robotic mowing technology and the robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) platform. In Texas, the company plans to further expand in the dealership marketplace as well as invest in adjacent businesses. In California, Robin is launching an all-electric technology hub that will focus on software, electric hardware, and consolidation of the outdated dealership market to help the state convert to electric-powered equipment.
“We are committed to growth in the green industry, and by concentrating our efforts on Texas and California, we believe we can make the greatest impact in the conversion to all-electric solutions,” said Logan Fahey, Chief Executive Officer of Robin Autopilot and founder of Fahey Group. “However, this means we must exit our Ohio-based businesses so we can more fully dedicate our resources to expanding the robotic mowing business.”
A local operator based in Ohio, will take over the operation of Landmark Lawn and Garden Supply, which Fahey Group acquired in 2019. Oanest Bakery, located in the Cleveland, Ohio, campus district, will close. A critical decline in business since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic has made it no longer sustainable to operate the bakery. All employees at the bakery have been offered jobs in other businesses.
“We thank all of our employees in Ohio for the great work they have done, and we are proud of the difference the bakery made in so many lives as a social enterprise offering second-chance employment opportunities,” Fahey said.
