The company was founded by Richard Mitchell, father of Janis Duckett. Chris
and Janis met in a grocery store and found out that they shared the
same birthdays (AKA destiny). So, the two began their life long relationship
together by kicking it in Europe for a few years until Richard called
them one day and said, "get back over here or I am selling the business".
They married in 1979 and took over the business in 1980.
They have four children: Kailah, Shanna, Brandon, and Jonathan.
