A Brief History
• June, 1975: Albums Inc. was founded in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, by Howard Schuman, Jean Schuman and Laura DeMarco.
• Rapid growth caused the company to move within 6 months to an industrial complex in Brook Park, Ohio
• In 2002: Advances in distribution again demanded bigger quarters. The company moved to its current location of 60,000 square feet in Strongsville, Ohio – a facility with more than 10,000 products in stock.

Albums Incorporated: An ESOP Company
Albums Inc. became an ESOP company in 1989 when founder Howard Schuman transferred ownership of the company stock to company employees. Since that time, each "employee owner" has possessed beneficial ownership of Albums Inc. The move was made to assure the future well being of the company, and to provide a secure future for the employees without worry that the business would be sold.
