The company’s story traces back to before 1951, when Fred Goldner, Sr. owned and operated a successful jewelry store in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. As corporate customers began seeking items for branded gifts—such as engraved Zippo lighters and Cross pens—the business evolved in 1951 from jewelry into a corporate merchandise company built around delivering quality corporate gift options. In the late 1960s, the company expanded by directly importing competitive swim medals, lapel pins, and embroidered patches for swim team meets and various not-for-profit organizations. Through the 1980s and 1990s, leadership continued with Bills daughter, Elise Neaderthal Straus, and son-in-law, Jim Straus, growing fulfillment programs while maintaining a “whatever it takes” approach focused on taking care of customers first. The business remains family-owned, with the 4th generation—Andy Straus and Laurie Straus Aronoff—joining in 2002, helping drive further growth.
