Founded by George Tierney at the end of World War II so that his sons returning from the War would have stable jobs waiting for them, Tierney Stationery Company was born. George's background was in Accounting and his motivation was "every business will always need paper and pens, let's provide those." As well as servicing our Commercial accounts, Tierney's operated a retail store in Westport until the late 90's. At that time the decision was made to focus entirely on our Commercial customers, and the rest is history. Four generations later, business is booming!The key to our success is simple: go above and beyond what the competition is willing to do for our customers, and do it day-in and day-out. When you phone us, there will be no voice prompts: a real person always answers the phone. The question you have about a product? It is answered by a knowledgeable person who knows the products and, just as importantly, knows your business. No call centers here. As part of a national buying group, we are able to offer the prices you'd expect from a national retail-chain, without having to sacrifice the service you deserve. We buy in large volumes to keep your prices down, and we're able to do that on a national level. We do all of this by having world-class distribution capabilities, employing the latest technology at each of our 60+ warehouses nationwide.
