Longaberger Lives!!

412-204-7493

      
Those following the Longaberger Basket Company know that when founder David
Longaberger died, a big part of the Company’s momentum died with him.  The economic downturns and lack of clear vision from the leadership as well as huge turnovers at the top, made it difficult for everyone. After years of retrenchment, a takeover by a Texas company and more than enough lawsuits, it seems Longaberger is making a comeback through its roots.

On October 9th, 2017 The Dresden Times Recorder announced that The Longaberger Company will be moving back to Dresden in the coming months and “those in the village are happy to have them return” .
"Given the local economy this is wonderful news and will sure help revitalize the village," Mayor Dave Mathew said. "We look forward to partnering with Longaberger in this initiative to bringing many wonderful events back to the center of everyone's favorite hometown."
John Rochon, Jr., chief executive officer of Dallas-based JRJR Networks, the company that owns the Longaberger Company, told consultants the move is just the beginning of many wonderful things about to happen with in the company.
"We will be occupying the old patio shops on Main Street again," Baker said. "You'll once again be able to make a basket on Main Street, explore unique shops and stop in for a tour of Longaberger University, where the home office will be located.” Now that is great news!

Happy Bidding!
