Replacements, Ltd. and founder Bob Page, are featured in an exhibit at the Greensboro Historical Museum in the "Voices of a City" exhibit. Replacements was founded by Mr. Page in 1981 when he left his job as an auditor for the State of North Carolina to follow his passion- finding china and stemware patterns. In the early years, he kept a recipe box of index cards with his friends' requests to help them find pieces. He would keep an eye out for their requests when at flea markets and yard sales.
The company has grown from that little recipe box to over 500 employees from over 30 countries. Replacements has a reputation for being a great place work two of many reasons are their embracing diversity and their allowing employees to bring their dogs to work. Replacements is truly a local startup with clients from all over the world. If you are local, it is well worth a visit to their showroom on Knox Road in the eastern end of the county, visible from I-40/85. If you get a chance, head to the historical museum and see the "Voices of a City" exhibit. Congratulations to Mr. Page for earning a spot on Greensboro's wall of fame!

He sounds like quite a success story!
