Wedding Gown Preservation Co. is pleased to announce the acquisition of Allied Heirlooms of Picayune, Mississippi. The acquisition of Allied further confirms Wedding Gown Preservation Co. as the largest wedding gown preservation company in the industry. Allied’s operations have been moved to a new state of the art production facility located in Endicott, New York. Allied customers will continue with the current pricing structure. Wedding Gown Preservation Co. currently services the continental US, Hawaii, Alaska, Guam and Puerto Rico.
The new acquisition will increase employment at the Endicott, NY facility from 50 current employees to 70 full time employees.
Wedding Gown Preservation Co. is privately owned by Michael and Sue Schapiro. Wedding Gown Preservation Co. has specialized in the preservation and restoration of wedding gowns since 1913. What began as a preservation service in 1913 by Michael Schapiro’s grandparents Joseph and Sara Schapiro
has become a 3rd generation operation.
Wedding Gown Preservation designed a wedding gown preservation kit program that it retails to bridal shops, Dry Cleaners and Formal Shops. The Wedding Gown Preservation Company’s kit program allows authorized dealers to sell the preservation as a retail item. Wedding Gown Preservation Co. provides each of its dealers with marketing materials and a display rack to showcase the preservation kit. Once the bride purchases the kit, the bride sends her gown directly to the Wedding Gown Preservation Co. for preservation.
Michael Schapiro and the Wedding Gown Preservation Co. sales team believe the best time to sell the preservation kit is when the bride is purchasing her gown. The gown is shipped back to the bride within 2 to 6 weeks.
