______________________________________________

This time of year is filled with family and friends and remembering others. To many, the holiday also means following familiar traditions. The tradition of business and service to our customers is our family foundation. Here is our history of Flags Unlimited in Las Vegas.

Our History

Flags Unlimited was incorporated in Nevada in 1978, by Andy Grayner, an ex-Marine and veteran of the Korean War, and his wife, Mary Lou. For 17 years the business operated a storefront on Sandhill and Desert Inn in Las Vegas. Andy & Mary Lou sold flags and flagpoles to the Las Vegas valley, servicing veteran's organizations, businesses and residents. A natural addition to flag sales was custom advertising banners and advertising products, providing companies any item imaginable with their logo imprinted. The business grew to be Flags & Marketing Unlimited.

In 1987, Flags Unlimited was recognized by the Las Vegas Review Journal for contributions to various veterans' locations including the flagpoles for the Veterans Cemetery in Boulder City. Above is a clipping from the RJ from Thursday, June 11, 1987.

In 1990, Andy and Mary Lou began their process toward retirement by hiring Randy and Mel, their two daughters, to manage the business. The first Gulf War began, thrusting our small business into national recognition for our efforts supporting U.S. troops overseas and in raising patriotic awareness.

In 1995, the storefront on Desert Inn and Sandhill was closed to better service our corporate, government, and non-profit accounts from our home-based office location. Andy and Mary Lou passed away in 1997 and 2001 respectively, but their legacy of customer dedication continues. Flags Unlimited is still family owned and operated, by Randy and Mel from our home-based office.
Since 1978, we provide individual attention to every order, and the highest quality flags, flagpoles, advertising specialties and logo wearables available. Knowledgeable and friendly customer service and attention to detail is still the foundation of our family business.

We wish you Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

Sincerely,

Randy Kopf
