Hi Folks,
I have been doing a lot of deleting on this thread.
This economy has struck a lot of companies and families really hard and there are certainly some tough situations out there-- like the Geckler company. Message boards are a place to find out information and vent, on occasion, but wanted to remind everyone of two of our rules:
- Play nice
- No ads or promotional messages

Thanks,

So what kind of solutions is your school receiving from the former Geckler?
Good? Bad? Zip???

There is NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE CHIP SHOPPE AND GECKLER. None. Period. The Chip Shoppe is a local Midwest company that is passionate about quality, service, and developing long term fundraising..carnival...and school supplies relationships. THERE IS NOTHING PARALLEL ABOUT THE COMPANIES.

This is not advertisement...this is just making sure the facts are correct.

{confirmed by co-owner of Chip Shoppe}

You are correct. The parents own Geckler Companies and the son Andy owns Geckler Homes. The rumor on the streets is that Geckler Companies helped fund Geckler Homes. Just rumor, Don't have the facts. If people are owed money, is this an avenue to pursue if someone can prove that they were funded by them with no payment back? You would have to investigate to prove this to be true. It could also come back as being false.

There is no relationship, they are two separate companies which are both based in Minnesota.
