Behind the Scenes

Greg

Greg Sander purchased the downtown main-street store from his dad in 1976. Al Sander opened Sander's Sew-N-Vac in 1945 selling Electrolux vacuums. Greg then expanded the business by selling Fabric; in the late 1990s/early 2000's Greg opened the The Fabric Bin. Today the store holds over 7,000 bolts of fabric! When Greg is not at the store he enjoys his time with his family, walleye fishing, and woodworking. While continuing his fathers' dreams of the Sander name in self-proprietorship; Greg raised a family of two daughters, now has 6 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren!

Shirelle "loves creating, helping the customers pick out fabrics, getting them to think out-of-the-box & out of their comfort zone. Most of all seeing the customer happy with what they created."
