DAN'S FAN CITY, INC.
OLDSMAR, FLORIDA

Founded in 1979 by Dan Hibbeln Sr. and his partner Georgia Wood, Dan's Fan City, Inc., commenced operations as a premier ceiling fan retailer based in Clearwater, Florida. Prompted by an expanding market demand for ceiling fans to improve energy efficiency during the energy crisis, their initial store debuted successfully on Black Friday. The business swiftly expanded its footprint with a second location in Seminole, Florida, shortly thereafter. Over four decades, Dan's Fan City has become a leading specialist in ceiling fan distribution, operating 44 retail locations across seven states and offering online shopping with global shipping services. Initially leveraging partnerships with established ceiling fan manufacturers such as Hunter and Casablanca, the company solidified its market stance by acquiring Gulf Coast Fans in 1983. This strategic move differentiated Dan's Fan City from large-scale retailers like Home Depot and Lowe’s, providing customers a unique direct experience featuring customizable, high-quality products. The incorporation of innovative technologies ensures superior performance with features including larger motors for enhanced airflow, precision sealed bearings for improved efficiency, and die cast rotors to minimize electrical interference. The electrostatic paint finishes employed assure durability across products. Dan’s Fan City's infrastructure evolved alongside the organization, with a major expansion in 2015 enhancing its warehousing capabilities. The company continues operations under the strategic vision originally established by Hibbeln while adapting to modern retail challenges. The firm remains deeply rooted in quality assurance and product variety, offering over 30 motor styles across at least 10 finishes, paired with numerous blade and lighting accessories, solidifying its mission of superior air circulation solutions. The leadership team includes Daniel J. Hibbeln, serving as PCEO, Frances K. Pickard as Secretary, and Benda Hibbeln as Vice President.
