THOMAS KINKADE LIMITED - Key Persons
As they began to ask what they'd like to do with their lives, it became clear to John that he wanted to open a fine art gallery. So, at the wise old age of twenty-four, John opened his first art gallery in Rye, New York. The more John learned about the art business, the more he shared with his clientele, and the bigger his business grew. In 1999 John asked Sal to partner with him in a new gallery planned to open in Stamford Connecticut. Sal agreed and a great partnership was formed based on a great friendship.
The following year, John and Sal opened a third gallery in The Westchester Mall in White Plains, New York. With the opening of this gallery in White Plains, New York, John and Sal asked another close friend, Andrew Lardaro to be a part of the team. Andrew, like John and Sal grew up in Brooklyn, New York. In fact, John and Andrew grew up right next door to each other. Andrew's task at hand was to oversee each gallery's day-to-day operations. Andrew is instrumental in the success of our gallery in New Jersey.
Finding such a great need for Thomas Kinkade art in the New York, New Jersey area, in 2001 John and Sal opened another new Thomas Kinkade art gallery in the Palisades Center in West Nyack, New York. Although the gallery's opening was ill fated, slated to open three days after the 9/11 tragedy, the West Nyack Thomas Kinkade Gallery weathered the aftermath of 9/11 and continues to serve the greater West Nyack area.
