In just a very few years Showplace has gone from a standing start to being a major national brand. That's because a whole lot of customers like the Showplace mix of product, flexibility and price.

     It all began with an idea: Create a cabinetry brand that makes sense. A small group of experienced cabinetry professionals gathered together in 1999, headed by Tony Bour, a name well known in this industry. This group shared a vision for a brand that offered the most-wanted features to the most people. But this vision also included some important differences from other brands. Like modifications that were comprehensive and affordable, often without charge. Like specialty style and finish options that were also affordably priced. Like a product offering that was complete, yet not overly complex, or weighed down with too many restrictions and limitations.

     This vision became reality in a brand new production facility in southeastern South Dakota in 2000. Since then the Showplace facility has grown into two production plants, having expanded five times and nearly quadrupling its initial square footage. Recently, Showplace transitioned to being 100% employee-owned.

     The original vision of the founding team laid the path but it's the people of Showplace who walk the walk. You'll find a bunch of typical South Dakotans here: People who work hard and care about what they do. People who are naturally friendly and helpful because, well, that's just the way we are. From top management to customer service to the workers on the line: We're all proud of the brand we've created -- the brand we all own -- and are personally invested in the products we send out the door.

     But nobody at Showplace is resting on success. Our brand and offerings have grown a lot in just a very few years and you can expect them to keep growing in the future.

     We humbly thank you for your interest in Showplace. We're very proud of it.
