In the life of any business,
beyond the work of owners and employees,
many other people often play important roles in guaranteeing the success and promoting the image of a company.
The Griffon has been blessed through the years by the good intentions of many who transcend the notion of customers.

The Griffon has survived through 2 moves prior to its present location. The first Griffon was at 121-A S. Michigan St. from 1976 to 1979 then it moved across the street to 124 S. Michigan from 1979 to 1983. The present location at 121 W. Colfax Ave. was purchased from Charles Sonneborn in 1981 and remodeled for 2 years before opening.

This is by no means a complete list but it serves as a reminder to us of all those who have helped us succeed through the years in roughly chronological order.
