The History of Ed Brown Distributors
In 1929, Ed Brown founded a vending company known as Dallas Cigarette Service which later became Signature Services Corporation. In 1965, a separate division known as Ed Brown Distributors was formed specializing in the sale and service of commercial laundry equipment.
Under the initial leadership of Chuck Brown, son of the founder, and Steve and Gary Brown, grandchildren of Ed Brown, Ed Brown Distributors has become a well-known name for the commercial laundry businesses throughout North Texas and Oklahoma.
As a family-owned and operated business, Ed Brown Distributors has taken great strides to care for our clients and our staff. We offer unique programs to help members of our community, such as the J-1 Visa Program, which is a cultural exchange program that brings over foreign college students for a summer work-travel program through the U.S. Department of State.
Signature Services also offer a food service management division for schools, colleges, and camps. These programs are an important part of the Signature Services business as it helps us serve and give back to the people of their community.
