Our company's story ...began when a young couple with a thirst for adventure uprooted their family of five (known as the 5 J's) from their comfortable life in Denmark back in the summer of 1982.
Their bold move to relocate to fantabulous Northern California on a whim really, all came down to finding a home, 3 schools for their children (High School, Middle School, and Elementary), and of course staking out a location or at least an opportunity for creating a subsidiary to their company back home - all within a couple of weeks time. At the last hour, literally - before jumping back on the airplane all the pieces fell into place and within a few months the 5 J's found themselves in new surroundings living THE DREAM. The subsidiary was named Cillus Company Inc. and for the first many years the warehouse was filled with a wide variety of goods from Denmark until Educational Toys took over and became the main product line. With customers such as Toys R Us and Walt Disney business was great. The 5 J's thrived, and so the original plan of talking about moving back to Scandinavia after a couple of years NEVER came up. Annual summer trips back home refueled the family every year and continues to do so to this day! Jump forward to 1996 - The "young couple's" thirst for adventure was still very much alive. So, off they went on a one month Safari trip to Africa. Before leaving they asked their youngest J, who had just graduated from college, to hold down the fort while they were gone.
