Broadway Glass Proud To Support The Toyota Grand Prix Of Long Beach

Posted by BGlass15 on

The Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach is America’s #1 Street Race, and Broadway Glass is proud to be a supporter of this wonderful event.  We were very excited to participate in 2018 and help make the event a success once again.  It was an exciting weekend, and we had a blast. 

Thank you to all involved with the race. We’re looking forward to next year and continuing our relationship with this great event and organization.

TRACK HISTORY OF THE GRAND PRIX OF LONG BEACH

Although the City of Long Beach had no way of knowing, when Friday morning, March 26, 1977 dawned, the city would never be the same again.An auto racing fan-turned-travel-agent — Chris Pook — was about to put the city on the international sports map and spark a business, travel and financial renaissance that continues today.

Barely 18 months earlier, Pook had beaten all the odds and naysayers by staging the first Long Beach Grand Prix, a Formula 5000 race won by Brian Redman that attracted more than 46,000 race fans and curiosity seekers. He followed that only six months later by staging a Formula One race, won by Switzerland’s Clay Regazzoni, that was a moderate success.

Now, at 4:30 a.m., it was financial crunch time. With a pack of creditors snapping at his heels, Pook desperately needed a high-profile F/One race that would be watched by countless millions worldwide and – he hoped – packed grandstands in Long Beach.

He got it. With some help from a tough, diminutive Italian-American from Nazareth, PA. Mario Andretti avoided a first-lap, multi-car collision, then went on to outduel F/One stars Jody Scheckter and Niki Lauda to become the first American to win a F/One race in a U.S. Grand Prix.

Broadway Glass & Mirror, Inc. Celebrating 60 Years In Business

Original Article from Long Beach Business Journal

Broadway Glass & Mirror Inc. is celebrating its 60th anniversary today, September 1. The business, known for lighting up Broadway at night with its classic sign, was purchased by owner Ron DeWolf’s grandparents in 1955. DeWolf (pictured) started working at the family business about 35 years ago to help out his family, and never left. In 2008, he purchased his sister’s share in the business to become sole owner. Since then, DeWolf acquired a San Pedro business, Mac’s Glass, and opened a new headquarters in Westside Long Beach. While the business originally focused on glass replacement for residences and autos, over time it grew to include large commercial projects. The diversity of projects Broadway Glass & Mirror is able to accommodate is part of the reason it has been successful, DeWolf told the Business Journal. “Being able to serve all facets of the industry . . . has helped us stay in business as long as we have,” he said. Customers range from local residents looking to replace glass in a picture frame to the Long Beachbased national health care provider Molina Healthcare, he noted. A recent local project was installing glass for the Gelson’s supermarket near Belmont Shore. “Our biggest thing we believe in, and feel is one of the reasons we have been able to endure for 60 years, is that . . . we really do try to put our customers first,” DeWolf said. Broadway Glass & Mirror’s showroom and retail store is located at 2523 E. Broadway. Call 562/434-8405 for more information.

Broadway Glass & Mirror Family Reflects On History

Original article found on gazettes.com

Reflecting on their family’s longevity in the industry, brother-sister duo Ron DeWolf and Denise DeWolf are celebrating the 60th anniversary of Broadway Glass & Mirror Inc.

Their grandparents — Verta and James DeWolf — purchased the business in 1955, living in a bungalow behind the shop for many years before eventually tearing their home down to make more retail space. They believe the story goes that a cousin, Walt Paddleford, originally started the company in a garage across the street about a decade before that, but the DeWolfs were the ones who really grew the family legacy.

Ron DeWolf said his grandparents initially offered simple glass replacement for residences as well as auto glass repair and replacement. Although the glass and mirror business hasn’t changed dramatically through the years, they eventually stopped doing auto glass and instead ventured into the commercial arena in the late 1980s. The company still offers a range of services, from installation of glass shower doors in new apartment complexes to cutting glass for an individual picture frame.

“We never say no,” Denise DeWolf said. “We come and look at it, and we figure out a way to do what our customers need.”

About 20 employees work for the company between original retail shop on Broadway near Lindero Avenue and a warehouse/dispatch center on the west side of town. Also, the family owns Mac’s Glass & Mirror Inc. in San Pedro.

“We’re a $3 million to $4 million company at this point, and we have a versatile range of services that help keep up busy even in tough times,” Ron DeWolf said. “Our largest project to date was a $1.5 million commercial project that needed custom interior shower doors.”

Ron DeWolf, who grew up sweeping the floor there, said his family needed his help right after he graduated high school because his grandfather got sick and couldn’t keep working. So, the teenager dropped his plans to become a police officer and started running the family business.

Denise DeWolf, who is a certified public accountant, was an equal partner with her brother for many years before stepping back a little bit. But she said she couldn’t stay away, and loves working with her little brother.

Nowadays, she manages the retail side of the business, guiding customers through a showroom of windows, mirrors large enough to fill an entire wall and shower displays — some of the popular sellers.

“We make a great team,” Ron DeWolf said. “Denise really maintains our local presence and remembers our customers. When our regulars pull up their car here, we see them and have already asked someone to have the material ready to take to their car.”

They said they have a unique, small town-style relationship on the retail side of things with their Long Beach customers that has kept them competitive even though big box stores sometimes offer similar services. And, their growth into the commercial side of the business is something Ron DeWolf has focused on, with hopes to grow that side even more.

Ron DeWolf noted that there were once about 58 different glass shops in Long Beach, but there aren’t half that many now. He said just a handful have survived as long as Broadway Glass & Mirror.

The brother and sister team said they know their grandparents are smiling down on them as they work together each day. They both said they love their jobs.

“Seeing us here together, I know it would have done their hearts good,” Denise DeWolf said about their grandparents.

Broadway Glass & Mirror Inc. is located at 2523 E. Broadway. For details about the business, visit www.broadwayglass.com or call (562) 434 8405.
