Built in Abilene.
Still made by hand.
Crown has been building their own cabinets in the same
Kansas town since 1974.
1974
It started in a garage in Abilene
Crown founded
Built one kitchen at a time, in the same Kansas town where the work began.
Leroy Timms started Crown in a garage in Abilene, Kansas in 1974, building cabinets one kitchen at a time. He kept working in the shop until 2020, which is forty six years in the same trade in the same town.
Plenty of cabinet companies have come and gone in fifty years. The ones still standing are almost always the ones that kept making the product instead of becoming a middleman for someone else's.

Owners
A customer before an owner
Crown is owned by Ryan and Anessa Johnson. Ryan spent years buying from Crown as a remodeler for his own clients' jobs before he bought the company in 2011. Anessa runs operations and marketing.
That's a useful thing for an owner to have been. He's been on the other side of the order, waiting on a delivery date with a homeowner asking when their kitchen will be done. It tends to shape how a company handles lead times.

Ryan bought Crown after years as a remodeler and Crown customer

Where the work actually happens
Jerry Winters runs our plant, with more than thirty years in the trade. There are more than twenty of us between the shop in Abilene and the studio in Blue Springs.
Nothing gets sent out. That's the whole reason we can tell a customer what their cabinets are made of, who built them, and who put the finish on, without making a phone call to find out.
