We also supply our customers with promotional products to help them promote their business and trophies/awards for any and all groups that have that need.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I was a customer of businesses like ours for many years and felt that I had a plan to "do it better" than the businesses I was using. After approx.36 years working with high school and youth sports programs, I, along with my son, decided to pursue this venture and open our own store.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are different from others like us in that we do what we say we will do. We stay in constant contact with our customers either through phone calls or emails to let them know if there are any problems with their job as well as letting them know when their job is completed and ready for either pick-up or delivery. We pride ourselves on have a quick turn-around (10 to 14 days).
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We currently operate one store located at 212B South Main Street in Middleton, MA. Expansion is something we currently dream about.

What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
That we are a pleasure to do business with and that we do what we say we will do.
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
I have several favorite quotes.
The first is a quote I read on a wall somewhere way back when that has stuck with me forever..."If you have never failed, it may be that you have never tried!"
And the second one is from a former major league baseball player, Mickey Rivers, who said.... There ain't no sense worryin' about the things you got no control over and if you got no control over them, there ain't no sense worryin' about them!"
