Our Story


Cody Foster and Co. is a well-established wholesale company located in Valentine, NE. Cody and his mother started the company more than 25 years ago in the basement of their home making custom dolls from ordinary household items. The business quickly outgrew their house and moved onto Main Street in Valentine, NE. They opened a storefront and began selling retail from that location. Cody soon started to design other items that they could sell in the store. 

In 2003, they went to China to begin manufacturing their products. Their first year of nationally promoting their products in a wholesale market proved much bigger than anyone could have imagined. Through 2003 and 2004, they continued to grow and began receiving more and more orders. Since 2004, they have become known as an industry leader in creating custom ornaments and household holiday decorations.  

Today Cody Foster & Co occupies over 2 city blocks of warehouse space on multiple levels which allows them to service their customers extremely well. Keeping a strong tie to his small-town roots, Cody invests in his employees. In the busy shipping months the company employs more than 50 people from the community. Cody knows the value in his highly qualified staff who also care deeply for the company. 

Cody Foster & Co. focuses on creating cutting edge designs and has grown substantially year after year. They have permanent shows rooms in Atlanta and Las Vegas and relationships with some of the largest retailers in their craft. They also show at annual trade-shows in London, Paris, and New York.
