BUCYRUS, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—Crossroads Family of Companies, a prominent manufacturer of fragrance, gourmet, and home décor products, has announced its acquisition of The Grandparent Gift Co., a move designed to bolster its presence in the sentimental and inspirational gift markets.

The acquisition, finalized Jan. 1, brings The Grandparent Gift Co.’s specialized portfolio of emotionally resonant gifts into the Crossroads fold. Known for its original poetry and handmade glass gifts, the company is a leader in memorial and celebratory keepsakes, including the popular “Pawprints Left by You” series.

“We are delighted to welcome The Grandparent Gift Co. into our family of brands,” said Jason McMullen, president of Crossroads Family of Companies. “This addition aligns perfectly with our vision to offer high-quality, authentic products that truly resonate with customers.”

The integration will see The Grandparent Gift Co. join Crossroads’ existing stable of brands, which includes Crossroads Candles, Blossom Bucket, Cooper’s Mill, and Crossroads Home. Teri Harrison, the founder of The Grandparent Gift Co., will remain with the brand to provide creative direction. Harrison noted that the partnership with the Crossroads distribution network will allow the brand’s signature glass crosses and poetry frames to reach a much wider national audience.

Based in Bucyrus, the Crossroads Family of Companies remains a family-owned operation focused on domestic manufacturing and premium giftware. Customers can shop the latest collections from all five brands at the Crossroads Factory Store, located at 115 Crossroads Blvd. in Bucyrus.
