	Some thirty years ago, Department 56 began as part of Bachman's, a premiere retail florist in Minneapolis. Bachman's used a numbering system to identify each of its departments. The number assigned to wholesale gift imports division was, you guessed it, 56. Now headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, Department 56 has become a leader in the giftware, collectibles and holiday decorating industry and is best known for our hand-crafted lighted villages, Snowbabies™ figurines and extensive lines of holiday and home decorative products.

Dept. 56 Retirees, Inc. (Is Not Affiliated with Department 56, Inc. in any way)	Department 56 Retirees is managed by Harry & June McGowan and Gary (June's brother) and Sheila Andrews. Harry & June have had the greatest time with Dept. 56 Retirees collectors for over 25 years, after selling a small builders supply of 26 years in 1987. They were so glad when Gary and Sheila joined them after his retirement as a military officer in 1999. They take on all the young stuff the old fuddy duddies don't do, like Ebay Store, Worldwide Shipping, Email, etc. They take pride in our ability to ship immediately from 30,000 cubic feet of inventory (40,000+ items) in our 4 smokefree warehouses.
