Old Glory is a multi-channel retail powerhouse dedicated to providing the best selection and most outstanding quality in music and entertainment merchandising. We have come a long way since 1969, when our doors first opened at our original Old Glory boutique in Old Saybrook, CT. Over the next forty years we took every available opportunity to grow, innovate and take advantage of emerging trends and technologies, especially if it meant taking advantage of vacant or underused industry niches.
Our intimate knowledge of the culture, demographics and lifestyle of our consumer base stems from our dedication to building a high-energy, "in-touch" talent pool in management, creative and customer relations capacities. These qualities, among others, led us to expand beyond the walls of our original location into a chain of music and entertainment superstores renowned throughout New England for their wide selection of popular merchandise as well as an unparalleled collection of distinct and unique niche styles and fashions.
In the nineties, we broke new ground in the direct market with our immensely popular mail order catalog and then stood at the forefront of the emerging web-based paradigm when we went live with OldGlory.com in 1995. From there things really took off at escape velocity. From a hand assembled and self-printed catalog in the attic over our original location we have built an online store with over 50,000 individual SKU's across hundreds of product categories and across thousands of genres, styles, fashions and tastes. We have consistently maintained superior order fulfillment capabilities thanks to our committed staff, creative logistics solutions and a stock that is located entirely within the rigorously maintained and assiduously fine-tuned infrastructure of our own 65,000 sq. ft warehousing and distribution facility.
Anyone who shops at OldGlory.com can tell you we stand out from the pack in our kick-ass selection that caters to both popular demand and individual taste. Our ability to house, maintain and manage an immense and diverse stock allows us to keep pace, (or even outpace!) industry trends, seasonal fashions, popular fads and the latest crazes while maintaining our ability to cater to niche markets and unique needs. Our capacity to balance these two seemingly conflicting drives is an achievement that few other corporate entities can claim.
Coupling these dual directives with our commitment to stocking the classics, perennial favorites and established staples of every genre and style cements our identity as a composition of synergistic contradictions. We are pop and we are indie. We are mainstream as well as underground. We are bleeding edge. We are old school. We are Old Glory, and we contain multitudes.
