Homecoming
When the Amway 50th anniversary exhibit at the Grand Rapids Public Museum closed in December 2010, people asked where it would appear next.
As of today, this telling of the story of Amway has come home.
Amway Chairman Steve Van Andel today dedicated Amway Heritage Hall, which captures much of the original exhibit at our world headquarters.
Steve said one of his favorite elements is a collection of letters his father Jay Van Andel wrote to Rich DeVos when the future Amway co-founders were serving in the Armed Forces. In these letters, “Dad talked about what they were going to do and the businesses they were going to start” after their service ended.
As Steve told a group of employees today, the exhibit “commemorates the journey Dad and Rich took more than 50 years ago.”
In the case of the exhibit, its journey ends as it comes home to Amway to stay.
