Product Details & Size Guide
Take a little Richmond retail history along for the day with a Best Products Company golf towel. Best was founded in 1957 by Sydney and Frances Lewis, who grew a catalog business into a network of showrooms where shoppers could inspect merchandise before ordering boxed goods. The company also commissioned unconventional stores that became memorable architectural landmarks. This design offers collectors and longtime retail enthusiasts a way to remember a company whose shopping experience stood apart from ordinary stores.
Best Products Company, also known as Best, was an American catalog showroom retailer founded by Sydney and Frances Lewis in 1957. The first catalog was mailed that year, and the first showroom opened at 4909 West Marshall Street in Richmond, Virginia, across from Willow Lawn Shopping Center. The company grew from the Lewises' experience in encyclopedia sales and became known for displaying merchandise for customers to examine before ordering boxed goods from store staff. In the 1970s, Best commissioned SITE to design nine unconventional retail buildings, including Richmond's Peeling Wall and Forest showrooms and a distinctive Houston facade. Its Parham Road headquarters, completed in 1981, received an American Institute of Architects award. In 1982, Best acquired Basco and Modern Merchandising, whose showroom names included LaBelle's, Dolgin's, Jafco, Miller Sales, Rogers and Great Western; it also acquired Ashby's and opened jewelry stores. Best filed for Chapter 11 protection in 1991 and again in 1996. It operated 169 Best stores and 11 jewelry stores in 23 states at the second filing. The final stores closed in February 1997, and the company vacated its Richmond headquarters in January 1998.
