[H2] Our Story
I don't know about you, but I really, can't read long paragraphs about companies on their websites. I zone within a minute or two, and I guess I get to know them by their font, layout, and color of their website. So rather than bore you, I thought it best to just give a brief timeline of us, and let you look elsewhere for a good novel to read.

[H2]
1977

[IMG: 1977 - Dan and Judy Dobin]

Our Family

Dan and Judy opened our doors in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania in May 1977. They had a 2-year-old son (that’s me, Mikey Dobin) a 4-year-old daughter (Danielle) and a 6-year-old daughter (Diana). My sisters were, and still are, much smarter than me.

[H2]
1978

[IMG: 1978 - New York City]

On The Move

Valley Forge relocated to New York City, and we lived about an hour (without traffic) north of the city. Their commute must have been awesome. Dan and Judy had 2 more daughters (I am the middle child with 4 sisters), and essentially, they were the uber-entrepreneurs that never slept – good thing they picked NYC as their home-base.

[H2]
1980

[IMG: 1980 - Velvet Theater Curtains]

The Beginning

Dan and Judy were approached by a few hotels to purchase some of the velvet products that they sold for movie theaters. They happily agreed, and our company dove headfirst into hospitality. Hospitality quickly became the primary business for Valley Forge, and within a decade, it was our only business.

[H2]
1991

[IMG: 1991 - These books, at the time, cost our company all the money we had in the world, we literally had to take a loan to create them, and they had a whooping 70 items total. You may not feel the love for these styles now, but they definitely sold at the time!]

Our First Booked Collection

Valley Forge launched its first running line fabric collections, and our initial launch was to make 50 sample books and send them to the top 50 companies that would select fabrics for hotels. I am sure some of them just threw them out, but someone, somewhere used them. These books are now in a museum that we also call a storage closet that we have yet to purge. running for office.

[H2]
1992

[IMG: 1992 - Fort Lauderdale]

Onto the Sunshine State

Valley Forge moved from NYC to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We moved a week before my senior year of High School, and I never slept. Diana was in college, and she definitely did not sleep, and of course, even today, Dan and Judy still do not sleep.

[H2]
1994

[IMG: 1994 - Diana Dobin]

Diana Joins Valley Forge Fabrics

Diana joins the business, and her dreams of saving the world through a non-profit during the week, and chilling in the mountains of Colorado on the weekend, are slightly re-routed. She never chilled, and instead, flew to Hong Kong to open Valley Forge Fabrics in Hong Kong. Today, Diana is Co-CEO with me at Valley Forge by day,
