Arne Distributors

Established in 1954. Arne's is a one of a kind party store, carrying a huge array of party goods, both every day and seasonal, housewares, holiday, wedding, costumes, bachelorette, flowers, and countless other items and categories. You can afford to have multiple seasons displayed simultaneously all year long when you have 100,000 square feet at your disposal! Arne's stands as one of the most successful niche businesses in Houston. We didn't get here by accident - we got here by learning from our mistakes and persevering until we got it right. We stand on good old fashioned values and operate with integrity. Mr. and Mrs. Grossman started Arne Distributors, Inc. 67 years ago and built it from the ground up. The Grossmans began their journey as the original Tupperware home party distributors in South Texas. They peddled their Tupper-wares in five (5) Sage discount stores around the city and expanded from there. When the Sage stores closed in 1976, the Grossmans opened Arne's Texas Size Party Warehouse at 2830 Hicks - a 100+-year-old warehouse (with literally 2 miles of conveyor belts in the warehouse), where Arne's remains and thrives today. Mr. G, as he was known, began at age 8 working in his father's wholesale cigar and candy business in their home basement. Without question, Mr. Grossman was an incredibly tough and savvy businessman, who believed in hard work and fair dealing; however, those of us who had the privilege of knowing him describe him as generous and kind-hearted, with an amazing work ethic. Sadly, Mr. G passed in December of 2014. We vie to carry on his legacy.
