Card Factory is a chain of greeting card and gift stores in United Kingdom, opening the first store in 1997. Founded and owned by Dean Hoyle and his wife Janet, it celebrated its tenth birthday last year. The company currently employs over 5000 people, mostly in front line positions in its stores. Of these stores, twenty are from the acquisition of Celebration Cards in January 2006. Their advertising claims they have not increased prices for nine years. Sales have risen 91% from 2002, £6.6m, to £45.7m in 2005.[1]
