The Origin, 1968

It started with a handshake.

In 1968, Jack Opler founded Jack Opler Sales Company in Florence, Alabama.

He ran his business for more than 45 years on a simple principle: be the kind of partner your customers can count on.

He spent his career as a tireless advocate for the people he served, committed to delivering the ultimate level of service, remembered by those who knew him for his quick wit, his integrity, and his reliability. Many of the customers he served over the years became lifelong friends.

That was his promise to every customer. More than half a century later, it’s still our north star.

Our Commitment

The standards that built his business are the standards that guide ours.

I

Hard Work

Nothing replaces showing up, day after day, and delivering what we promised. Every order, every deadline, every detail.

II

Fast Turn Times

Your deadline is our deadline. We plan the work backwards from when you need it, and then we beat it.

III

Leading Prices

Premium quality shouldn't come with surprise pricing. Our numbers are clear, consistent, and hard to beat on value.

IV

Concierge Approach

A dozen polos or a five-figure company store, every project gets the same level of care, thought, and follow-through.
