I believe DDDisplays hosted a visit from their local Congresswoman, Virginia Foxx, who was led to believe this was in fact a real business when she visited in July 2008. Read the article and decide for yourself.

Tours D&D Displays, which recently landed $22 million project for national retailer

WASHINGTON – On Monday, July 28, Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05) visited North Wilkesboro manufacturer D&D Displays to tour their facility and speak with employees about policies that promote economic growth and well-paying jobs in North Carolina. Foxx was joined on her visit by D&D Displays CEO James D. Brown as well as representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and local government.


Foxx learns about manufacturing processes at the Wilkes County company.
“Economic growth is a pillar of American freedom,” Foxx said. “I’m excited to see the progress that D&D Displays has made in Wilkes County to create good jobs and boost the local economy.

D&D Displays announced a new project this week that could provide up to $22 million in new revenue for the North Wilkesboro-based company. Company CEO James D. Brown said that the company hopes to more than double its Wilkes employment rolls thanks to the new project.

“Success stories like D&D Displays will help strengthen our economy,” Foxx said. “The simple fact is that strong businesses create good jobs and Congress must do everything it can to create an economic environment in which businesses can create jobs and thrive.”

"D&D Displays is an American company producing American products, right here in North Carolina,” Brown said. “We would like to thank Congresswoman Foxx for her help in keeping manufacturing jobs here in North Carolina. With our newest Milestone reached, we should double if not triple our employment base in 2009. Congresswoman Foxx's support for the local Chamber of Commerce and her active role in our community has helped companies like ours grow and prosper in a tough economy."

D&D Displays specializes in custom cabinetry and high end store fixtures for retail vendors such as Newell-Rubbermaid, Inc., Bosch Tool Corporation, Kronotex, USA, and S&K Men's Wear. D&D Displays has been in operation since 2000 and became a subsidiary of Expo Holdings of North Wilkesboro in 2006.
