Breck’s Corporate Office

Joseph Breck founded Joseph Breck and Company in 1818 in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the editor of several publications, which caused a rising interest in flowers and spring bulbs.

The business originally sold household garden supplies, but in the 1950s Luther Adams “Bo” Breck, the fifth-generation Breck, transformed the family business into a Dutch bulb importer and flower bulb catalog company.

In 2001, Breck’s was acquired by Gardens Alive! when then-parent company Foster & Gallagher went bankrupt.

Today, Breck’s is the largest importer of Dutch flower bulbs.

In 2019, Breck’s conducted a study of the most popular flowering plants in every state. This study was published online through Better Homes and Gardens.

Bulbs and other garden items can still be ordered through Breck’s catalogs or from the company website.

Breck’s maintains a corporate office in Greendale, Indiana.

Hallmark Corporate Office

Hallmark can trace its roots back to the postcard craze of 1903. After seeing one, Joyce Clyde Hallmark decided to make their own and add them to their store in 1910. Convinced that greeting cards would be more profitable than postcards, Hallmark added them to his lineup when he moved his store from Nebraska to Kansas City, Missouri.

Today, Hallmark is the leading manufacturer of greeting cards in the US. The company has branched out into other areas as well, including collectibles, Christmas figurines, ornaments, party goods, and collectibles, wrapping paper, as well as eCards. Hallmark also owns their own cable and television stations, making original movies. A premium subscription channel, called Feeln, is the main source of streaming Hallmark Hall of Fames movies.

In 2016, the company had annual revenue of $4 billion. This international company is still owned and operated by the Hallmark family and has headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri.
