Mrs. Grossman’s Sticker Factory
We invite you to watch the magic as millions of our stickers get printed, packaged and shipped right before your eyes! We try and keep our tours small so your personal tour guide is able to answer all your questions. While you are on the tour, you might be welcomed by one of our company dogs that come to work every day with our employees.
Tours take about one hour. You'll start with an award-winning 20 minute video narrated by our company mascot, Angus, an Australian Shepherd. Angus is owned by Jason Grossman, Andrea's son and company vice president. Next you're off on a walking tour right on our factory floor. You'll be in the best of hands with our tour guides because they know everything there is to know about how to make stickers and they are a lot of fun as well. After the factory tour it's off to our sticker art room where you'll decorate your own postcard using Mrs. Grossman's stickers. You'll get a package of stickers and learn a few sticker art tricks that are quick, easy and lots of fun.
