Our History
Our Journey
Founded in 1979 by Patricia Chinander, Love From USA began as a humble paperweight kiosk. Patricia, a registered nurse with a heart full of compassion, split her time between the kiosk and the hospital. Her commitment and passion led her to take a leap of faith and grow the business from the ground up. Today, what started as a small kiosk has flourished into a thriving enterprise with 24 stores across the continental United States. Â
Our journey started in Minnesota and grew to Chicago and in 2015 we entered the airport retail space. We’ve expanded to new locations in Orlando, Denver, and San Francisco by 2025. We are determined to impact the local communities we serve. Â
