Here at Blindsgalore, sourcing, designing and providing products and service have been in our blood for generations. My grandfather escaped from the Russian Army in the early 1900's and forged his way to America, making the Midwest his home. To survive, he bought a horse-pulled wagon and peddled produce and home goods in this small town, eventually building up a fleet of trucks with a warehouse to service the community.
After WWII, my Dad returned from San Francisco where he had commanded all the goods and service for the Pacific Theater. With his résumé and professional contacts, he expanded the small family business into a large, diverse and successful operation. As a visionary and dynamic leader, my Dad's mission, even then, was to offer great service and great prices!
With my Dad's entrepreneurial spirit and savvy business acumen, he entered the real estate market, bought raw land and built a landmark hotel and the city's first shopping center. His real estate holdings expanded and he soon owned and operated over a dozen hotels in many states across the Midwest. For over thirty years my family has been building, managing, designing and decorating all kinds of spaces, most of them filled with lots of windows to cover.
My exposure to all things business and beautiful has informed my own professional life. I have always been on the lookout for new trends and introducing and engaging customers with fresh ideas. In the 1980's, before the "foodie movement" took hold, I designed, opened and operated one of the first specialty gourmet food stores, an emporium of fantastic delights!
With the explosion of the Internet, I saw an unclaimed niche in the custom made window covering arena and realized the potential to bring top notch window treatments to everyone. This niche was growing since 1998 as Blindsgalore and I pulled together my family's long-term relationships with design workshops and professional manufacturers. I acquired Blindsgalore in 2004 and accelerated this custom window buying experience to success. As an early innovator, Blindsgalore's mission has always been to deliver beautiful, yet practical, quality products. I always believe in empowering our customers to be able to create their own style.
