The year was 1905. He saw an opportunity to make merchandising easier and faster within the booming town of Fort Smith, Arkansas. It was then that he decided to team up with E. Leslie Hunt to establish Johnson & Hunt Merchandise Brokers. That company would evolve into Willis Johnson & Company, a major player in its region. But just as the retail market changed…so did the company itself.Willis learned that Cadbury candy company was struggling with out-of-date product in stores. Seeing an opportunity to save the day, Willis Johnson & Company began travelling across the country in 1977, all to rotate products on shelves…starting at the newly launched Walmart store. This one-off project soon became a core offering that marked the beginning of a business services evolution as SALES MARK. In 1995, SALES MARK merged with Gordon Company and Phillips Brokerage Company—and one year later, that massive merger was complete. CROSSMARK was born.By 2000, CROSSMARK had completed 55 mergers and acquisitions in its quest to become a national sales agency, managing brands, and performing sales functions for manufacturers and performing in-store merchandising services at retailers nationwide. The same year, we expanded our operations to Canada to broaden our impact in North America.
