Where the magic happens: We were born in a small garage in West Hills, CA and moved to a bigger (ware)house in a small town, Moorpark, CA, in 1990. We've been rockin’ the suburbs ever since!
Why we do what we do (this is the big one): Our purpose for existing is to bring family and friends together so that they can make lasting memories...because that's what happiness is all about. Each and every decision we make is ultimately geared toward that goal.
How we do it: We're constantly driving towards our purpose via our 8 core values of Fun, Growth, Integrity, Collaboration, Innovation, Service, Productivity, and Passion.
