Champion Homes, a company with a portfolio of manufactured and modular homes, ADUs, park-models and modular buildings for the single-family, multi-family, and hospitality sectors, announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of Homes Direct, adding retail locations across key Western U.S. markets as part of an effort to expand its retail footprint and strengthen its direct-to-consumer strategy.
The transaction includes locations in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico and Oregon.
According to the company, the acquired sites represent the majority of Homes Direct’s operating footprint and closely align with Champion’s existing manufacturing and distribution network in the region.
Homes Direct is described as the largest independent manufactured and modular home dealer in the western United States. The company serves customers through a retail model that includes assistance with permitting, financing, home selection and site preparation.
The acquisition is expected to expand its presence in Western markets and increase access to retail locations that complement its manufacturing operations.
“Our businesses complement each other well, and Homes Direct’s differentiated retail experience and significant western U.S. presence make this a natural fit,” Tim Larson, president and chief executive officer of Champion Homes, said in a press release. “We are confident this acquisition strengthens our retail platform and will further our ability to win as a customer-centric, high performance agile team.”
Larson also praised Homes Direct and its leadership, noting the companies have maintained a long-standing business relationship.
Homes Direct CEO Ray Gritton said the transaction provides an opportunity for continued growth while maintaining a focus on customers and employees.
“Champion is an ideal long-term partner for Homes Direct, and I have significant trust in their team to take our assets forward,” Gritton said. “We share a strong focus on the customer, delivering a seamless transition for our employees and allowing us to continue delivering a differentiated retail experience while creating a great environment for future growth by expanding our reach across the United States.”
Champion said all Homes Direct employees at the affected locations will be offered employment following completion of the acquisition as part of the integration process.
The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close during Champion’s second quarter of fiscal year 2027.
The acquisition announcement was made alongside Champion’s release of its fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 financial results.
