\n<\/a>It\u2019s only been a few months since we announced that Davison products have sold in more than 900 stores. Well, we\u2019ve continued to add retailers at an incredible rate, and our total count of different stores that have carried Davison-designed products and packaging solutions has topped more than 1,000!<\/p>\n

\u201cSetting our mission one day to have inventions in 1,000 stores would be like a school boy believing he would have a Super Bowl ring on his finger someday,\u201d said Founder and CEO George Davison to employees at a festive party held to celebrate the milestone.<\/p>\n

\"Davison<\/a>\u201cWell, the Walmart chain was just our first store, and we have been on this mission for 20-plus years,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe once unthinkable has happened \u2014 our products have now sold in 1,000 different stores. It\u2019s an incredible day for the company and for all of us. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this mission of making dreams come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although in business since 1989, all facets of the Davison Inventing Method were brought under one roof in Inventionland in 2006. Since then, Davison’s method has resulted in close to 200 additional products \u2013 with the total approaching 250 \u2013 that have sold in stores or other retailers.<\/p>\n

Recently added stores include big names such as Ross and Shop NBC. In addition, numerous niche retailers that specialize in a particular category, such as pets, health and wellness, and cooking, added many products and product lines with the Davison \u201cD\u201d to their shelves, bringing up our total product count as well as store count.<\/p>\n

\"George<\/a>\u201cI find it extremely rewarding to be able to help the everyday \u2018idea person\u2019 bring their idea for a new product to life, and then hear their reaction after they actually see it in packaging and on the store shelf,\u201d Davison said. \u201cThere’s nothing more exciting.”<\/p>\n

In a recent profile of Inventionland on the CBS \u201cEarly Show,\u201d reporter Taryn Winter Brill explained that Davison\u2019s \u201cassembly-line approach to trial and error has led products to find success in over 1,000 retailers.\u201d The creative piece showed numerous successful products that got their start in Davison\u2019s creative design facility.<\/p>\n

Inventionland also offered the perfect setting for the celebratory gala. Following a dazzling laser-light show, Davison addressed the crowd from a rock in \u201cPondering Pond.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\"Davison<\/a>It started with an idea to get an invention to the stores one day,\u201d said Davison, as he opened a 9-liter bottle of champagne (with a dry, stubborn cork) to cheers from hundreds of employees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe light at the end of the tunnel was so far away, I didn\u2019t know if we\u2019d ever reach it \u2026 We climbed that hill, and we\u2019re smashing through 1,000 stores today!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
