Premier Sports Memorabilia is a medium-sized, rapidly growing online and catalogue-based retailer centered in Brooklyn, New York. The company was founded in 1990 and specializes in providing its customers with authentic yet affordable sports memorabilia from their favorite players and teams, past and present. Traditionally the company’s customers were located in the northeast region of the United States. Recently, however, Premier launched a successful ad campaign to expand its customer base. This has increased sales, which has in turn placed a strain on the organization’s operational resources. The company currently employs 205 employees who are spread out among its three warehouses and two offices in the tri-state area.
