The Foland Group

The Foland Group is comprised of five distinct merchandising divisions uniquely positioned to capitalize on strong international growth trends in location based entertainment, specialty retailing and mass merchandising. The Dennis Foland, Inc. the merchandising services division, and parent company, founded in 1979 as a custom souvenir and novelty supplier, steadily building a customer base of theme parks and attractions that have all become American and international household names: Knott's Berry Farm, San Diego Zoo and Chuck E. Cheese's, among many others. DFI remains a key component of The Foland Group, adding custom merchandise, and merchandising planning capabilities. Acquired in 1996, Charm Company is America's leading supplier of battery-operated motion toys. In addition to having the nation's largest selection in this unique toy category, Charm maintains a higher quality standard than competitors. For this reason, the company has built a strong customer base among high-end specialty retailers, catalogs and department stores. Charm products have always set toy store standards. With the trend towards specialty and themed retailing, these toys are now seen running, barking, jumping and oinking in theme parks, hotels, and gift shops everywhere. Launched in 1998, Sureshot Redemption, focuses on prize redemption counters at entertainment centers. Sureshot is a natural outgrowth of The Foland Group's strengths in importing, customer service, shipping, and custom product development. With a strength of service that many industry competitors cannot match, Sureshot has gained a large part of the market share serving some of the leaders in the industry. Many fine organizations such as Chuck E. Cheese's, Dave & Buster's, GameWorks and Peter Piper Pizza all turn to Sureshot for their redemption needs. The newest division, Prize Proz, launched in 2009 specializes in the fundraising industry.
