Fifty years of locally-owned and operated business is a momentous achievement for any company, so it is only fitting that GOS throw a huge celebration for their customers to mark the special occasion.

Current president and CEO, Charles Scales III, led the evolution of GOS when he took ownership of the company in 1992. When Greenville Office Supply first opened its doors in 1968, they only serviced local businesses with standard office supplies, pens, paper, etc.

But, under Scales’ leadership, the company rebranded to become GOS in 2007, and now have customers across the country that buy from not one, but six product categories including furniture, promotional products, cleaning supplies, professional printing, breakroom and coffee, and of course office supplies.

Today, the company is still truly locally-owned and operated as Scales’ three sons all work for him. Together, with the help of the 53 employees, GOS has made a name for themselves and stood out from their competition by building a reputation of the highest quality customer service, timeliness of deliveries, competitive pricing and customer satisfaction as a “one-stop-shop” for all business needs.

GOS will celebrate its 50th anniversary from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on April 26 at the company's headquarters, 310 E. Frontage Road in Greer.

Guests from more than 300 local companies will receive GOS-branded gifts and giveaways. There will be catered gourmet food, a celebratory cake, live music and a commemorative photo booth.
