What This Milestone Means to Us
Started by a family of inventors, our company creates purposeful products that make a positive impact. Our greatest satisfaction comes from helping people get (and stay!) organized at home. So, it's a huge honor to look back on all we've accomplished together and celebrate fifteen years of growing YouCopia.
Planting Seeds for Growth
In 2009, YouCopia was born at the Greenwood's kitchen table and products shipped from their garage (yep, true story!). As we grew, so did our team of talented inventors, designers, sales, marketing, finance and operations professionals. Today, we’re headquartered in Chicago’s vibrant Ravenswood neighborhood.
Winning Moments
"Make it unique or not at all” has been our guiding principle from Day One, when we introduced the SpiceStack® Spice Bottle Organizer. Inspired by our customers’ needs, we’ve continued to roll out award-winning innovations, garner media accolades, and enjoy viral “woo hoo” moments from our customers and fans.
