About
Best Prices Storable Foods was started by Bruce Hopkins in February, 1994. In daily discussions with two conservative-minded friends at work, they decided it would be an excellent idea to set back some food in case Bill Clinton did something really crazy.... We missed it by a couple presidents didn't we?
He soon had a mailing list of over a thousand prospects and customers, to whom he mailed every month, and every month brought in more orders. In early 1996, he had a Yellow Pages rep call on him to place an ad in the Dallas phone book. He was added to the category of "Dehydrated Foods" and asked if it could say "Best Prices." The rep said, "No, that would require display advertising. But it COULD say, Best Prices Storable Foods, if that was the name of the company." And so, the company name was born (and duly registered with the State of Texas). We went online in September of 1996.
