From Campus Crushes to Corner Office Champions
How It All Began
Picture this: university halls buzzing with potential, where Sean met Lisa. More than just college sweethearts, they were dream chasers bound by an unstoppable ambition. After saying "I do" in 1992, they didn't just merge their lives—they launched a lifetime of innovation.
Laying Down Roots
The plot thickened after Sean graduated from The University of Texas, and moved to Dallas. As they welcomed their daughter, Lisa mastered the art of juggling: nurturing her family and career with flair. She became a staple in the A+D scene, acing client presentations and soccer mom duties with equal panache.
One Big Family
Today, Sean and Lisa, alongside their two kids and three adorable grandbabies, continue to fuel a legacy of integrity and innovation. Every team member is part of that "Cronan Family" and adds a unique stitch to our tapestry, weaving together a tale of a family venture that blossomed into an industry icon.
Building a Legacy
2000
The 2000s marked a game-changer: After spending 8 years working in an independent rep group with his Aunt and Uncle, Sean and Lisa started Cronan, and began its growth. Growing to a cozy crew of four by 2007, Cronan has flourished under their stewardship, boasting a solid squad of over 15, that includes several 10+ year veterans—a nod to our tight-knit, supportive vibe.
Spreading Our Wings
2003 +
This was a milestone year with the debut of our Dallas showroom, a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality and community. Not stopping there, we made our mark in Houston in 2006, expanding further in 2008, then doubling that space in 2020. In 2018, we moved our Dallas showroom to a new location, and more than doubled the space. Today, the two showrooms combined boast over 12,000 sf of space. These spaces are more than just showrooms; they're creativity-fueled gathering spots.
Going Mobile
2 Showrooms wasn’t Enough
Two showrooms in our largest two markets just weren't enough to service Cronan's 5 state territory, so we invested in a mobile showroom to service smaller and more remote markets. The Cronan mobile showroom has traveled thousands of miles serving our customers, and allows us to show ALL of our customers the latest and greatest products from our manufacturers.
