The history of Everfast is a rich blend of many years in the retail fabric industry. Everfast was originally named Portco, Inc., and was incorporated in Delaware in 1936. Portco changed its name several times before becoming Everfast, Inc. The original Everfast company owned and operated five retail fabric stores located in Pennsylvania and Delaware. The original five stores, called Everfast Mill Stores, sold discount fabrics such as home decorating and apparel fabrics as well as remnants. In 1970, Everfast acquired Funwood, Inc., a wholesale operation distributing home decorating fabrics to its franchised, and later company-owned Calico Corner stores. Calico (formerly known as Calico Corners) is a high quality retailer of home decorative fabrics and provides design and custom labor services. Today, we have over 75 stores across the United States and our corporate offices and distribution center is located in rural Kennett Square, PA.
