Bob’s Barricades owns more than two million pieces of equipment installed at the multibillion dollar I-4 Ultimate Project over a 21-mile stretch. Their headquarters in South Florida is ready to provide more barricades and signs if necessary.
Bob’s Baricades Owner
Happy Alter is the owner of Bob’s Barricades. He is frequently asked how he got his name. Even when he was sleeping in his crib, he always smiled, so they called him ‘Happy.’
Bob’s Barricades is owned and operated by Alan Chesler and Alter for over four decades.
“We bought the company from James A. Ryder himself,” Alter mentioned. “It was only a one-branch operation, and it was Bob then.”
This name was kept, since they have had a lot of supervisors and managers named Bob through the years, and there was something appealing about it.
Bob’s Barricade Business Growth
The company has grown tremendously. There is no information about how much Ryder got paid for the company forty years ago or how much it is worth today. Their plan isn’t about making money but ensuring the safety of contractors and motorists.
