Tom and Mary Colbert

Owners: Kevin and Sue Colbert

We are a third-generation, award-winning, entrepreneurial family. Our

patriarch, Tom Colbert (The Great Gonzumaka), and his wife Mary,

opened the first location in 1987 as a small custom and do-it-yourself

picture framing franchise. In 1995, we bought the business when my

parents retired. Within a few years, the business grew to three locations

and a central warehouse facility and became an industry leader in the

use of technology.



Throughout the years, all of Tom and Mary's eight children worked in the

business in some capacity, and now all three of our children are

involved. We have been named Small Business of the Year by the

5-Star Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce (one of the largest

Chambers in the nation) and we were named one of the top four family

businesses in Illinois, as well as the Suburban Business Ledger Award

for Excellence in Retail and  Decor Magazine's Nation's Top 100

Framers.



Our motto, "You're Going To Love It", was written by our customers,

because so often they say, "I love it!" when they come in to pick up their

pieces. We have continued Tom and Mary's philosophy of exceptional

customer service and commitment to community involvement. We are a

family who works together, plays together, laughs together, faces

struggles together, and prays together. We love art, family traditions,

heirlooms, and all the wonderful things we get to print and frame. And,

of course, we love our customers who make it all possible.
