About Us: A little History Lesson

Wilkes-Barre Trophy's involvement in the field of Recognition
began in 1978 when the original 3 owners, who were baseball mothers,
decided they could make their own trophies. Starting in a 1 room
building in the back of one of the owners houses they eventually
started creating trophies for other people.

In 1983 the company moved to North Washington Street in Wilkes-Barre
Pennsylvania to expand their shop and growing customer base.

The store was purchased by Joe and Ellie Schwab in 1994, with then partner,
Frank Magdalinski (of Anthracite Coal Craft - Plains, Pa).

The store moved to its current location at 124 North River Street
in Plains, Pennsylvania in 1999.

The original operation has now grown and expanded into our new business
goal of taking the company into the future with new services and an
ever-expanding product line while keeping the original core business theme
of recognizing events, companies & organizations, services and people.

To make this change we needed to break away from our old image of just
designing awards and trophies. In 2006-2007 we changed the name of the business to
Lasting Impressions by Wilkes-Barre Trophy. We expanded the store with a new
custom designed showroom to better serve our clients and expand our services.
