About Us

Party America has gone from the smallest party supply retailer six years ago to the second largest in the country. We now proudly operate stores in 45 states.

Our highest concentration of stores is in the state of California with the majority of those stores in the greater Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento areas.

In March 2004, Party America took the top honor as The Party Retailer Of The Year, beating all of our competition.

We also took the top honor for The Most Innovative Balloon Merchandising in both 2004 and 2005!
On October 8, 2004, Party America purchased Wisconsin based Party Concepts, adding 124 units to our family. These stores operate under the names Great Party, Paper Factory and Paper Outlet.

On August 8, 2003, Party America purchased Minneapolis based Paper Warehouse. This added approximately 100 stores to our growing family. The majority of these stores are located in Minneapolis, Kansas City, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Tucson and Denver. The rest of the stores are located throughout the United States.

Why Party America?

Take part in the 11 billion dollar a year party supplies industry where competition is low compared to other industries. Our business is driven by a universal love of parties and entertaining; disposable products; strong and dramatic seasonal growth (witness the strength of Halloween and the growing demand for luau and Mardi Gras); and the ongoing special events in our lives such as birthdays, weddings and showers.
