Grandstand Glassware Celebrates 25 Years in Business

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Grandstand Glassware, Apparel and Promotional Items is celebrating 25 years in business. Established in 1988 in Lawrence, Kansas, Grandstand has grown from a local screen printer into a nationwide provider of top-quality glassware, screen-printed and embroidered apparel, and promotional items.

Founded by Lawrence native Chris Piper, Grandstand now employs 80 people and in December 2012, moved into its 150,000 square foot headquarters with a complete onsite screen printing and glass decorating facility.

“A lot has changed in 25 years, but our commitment to quality at all levels of the company and the fastest lead times in the industry have not,” said Piper. “The Grandstand team enjoys their work and takes customer service seriously. I am proud to work with this group of dedicated people.”

Grandstand’s long list of repeat customers is a testament to the company’s high standards and attention to detail.

“Our customers return to us for our consistent quality, great customer service and quick delivery times,” commented Christine Fleek, Director of Sales.

Grandstand decorates and sells glassware, apparel, and promotional items to the craft brew industry, local and national corporations and the collegiate market.
