Our awning company has always been a true family business. In 1953, we worked in a 1,800 square feet facility with one employee — Mom Powell did the books, Dad Powell did the selling, son, Jimmie Powell ran the shop and son, and Don Powell installed the awnings.
In the early 60s, Van Nuys Awning Co.® moved to a larger facility in downtown Van Nuys, with 11,000 square feet, eight employees, and the Powell family. Our reputation for quality and service grew and so did we as our customers recommended us to friends and associates.
