Yeti Cards & Gifts

Company Summary

Yeti Card & Gifts is a retail gift store specializing in cards, health and beauty products, novelty, candy, beverages, and Japanese products. Yeti currently has two locations, their current store located at the Wigman Hospital/Physician & Surgeons South Building, and a University Heights community store (opening soon) in the Madison Plaza in-between existing tenants Starbucks and Noah’s Bagels.

2.1 Company Ownership

Yeti Cards & Gifts is a single member Ohio registered L.L.C. owned wholly by Dan Gordon.

2.2 Company History

Yeti was originally founded two years ago. The popularity of Yeti was quickly apparent and the business out-grew the location. The business soon moved into the Wigman Hospital/Physicians & Surgeons South Building to take advantage of the 1,144 square foot highly visible retail space. The Wigman location was chosen to leverage its high density of people. Wigman Hospital is Cuyahoga County’s largest employer. On the east side of Yeti is The Case Western Reserve, the state’s largest private university with over 20,933 students, faculty, and employee. The move to the Wigman building was also strategically timed to fill the vacancy of Jabberwocky Cards & Gifts which had just closed their doors.

Yeti is currently in the tenant improvement stage of opening their second store in University Heights. This 800 square foot store is located in the Madison Plaza in-between Starbucks and Noah’s Bagel. This location was chosen because of the high traffic counts (1,800) and the close proximity to two nationally known tenants.
