A little about Thrifty Impressions...

Thrifty started business in 1976 as a custom graphic arts company just south of Los Angeles California in Orange County. After 21 years in the same city, we relocated our headquarters to Blackfoot Idaho, part of a tri-city technology area comprising Pocatello, Blackfoot and Idaho Falls. Blackfoot is a beautiful city in the south eastern part of the state, about 175 miles north of Salt Lake City, Utah. The area offers outstanding weather and recreational opportunities. It also has a great business climate, rated #7 in the US for manufacturing ability. It is the home of Idaho State University. The dome structure shown in the photo below is the University's indoor football stadium. It was the first one in the country and was designed by the Engineering department of the University.
