MainStreet Designs Inc. History
• Founded in 1991 by Charles Downs in Golden Valley, MN, MainStreet Designs Inc. began its journey with a focus on crafting banners using marine acrylic fabric for cities and municipalities around the country.

• By 1998, a leadership transition occurred, with Mike assuming the mantle of MainStreet Designs’ successor. With this change in leadership, the company’s horizons expanded significantly.
• MainStreet Designs diversified its offerings, introducing a range of banner fabrics, holiday decorations, and bannerware.
• Fast forward to 2023, and MainStreet Designs has its name as a frontrunner in the banner manufacturing industry. This remarkable journey underscores the company’s evolution from its modest inception to its current stature of leadership and innovation.
