Since 1960, San Francisco Bay Area contractors, designers, architects, building and home owners, and stained glass artists glass have relied on Franciscan Glass Company for the full range of high-quality glass products and outstanding service. For more than 40 years, we have taken pride in providing expert advice, the latest and best products from leading and specialized vendors in the United States and abroad, and meticulous installation-all at competitive pricing. We work closely with contractors and architects in the San Francisco Bay Area to make their lives easier and help them realize their visions.
Many of our customers ask us how long we've been in business, and then relate that they've been coming to us for their glass needs since they moved into the area. Lloyd Bibo started Franciscan Glass Company in 1960 after managing a branch store for another glass company. In 1966 he built the store we are in presently. Shortly thereafter, Roger Bibo took charge and added stained glass sales and classes. These lead to the formation of our wholesale division. After Roger's passing in 1989, his 3 sons continued the business forward, growing in both segments, i.e. glazing installations and wholesale supply, from two locations.
