Our
Story

Peanut (bottom) and Tiger greeting the customers
Lee's Hallmark first opened in Chesterton's Indian Oak Mall in the late eighties.
Doug and Connye bought the business in 2007 after owning a Hallmark store in
Lansing, IL the previous 5 years. Combining over 50 years retail experience - Doug
owning bowling centers and Dunkin Donut/Baskin Robbin franchises and Connye
with a management background from JC Penney - they sought to create a friendly
retail experience for their customers.
