Our company began as “The Vacuum Shop”, a small vacuum cleaner shop in Muskogee, OK.  The store consisted of approximately 250 square feet and was established by Jim and Sharon Stewart in 1981. 

Lewis and Becky Godby purchased the shop in 1985, which consisted of approximately $5,000 in inventory and no employees.  In June of 1986, Godby leased a new custom-built building with 950 square feet and added sewing machines. 

The store’s name changed to "Godby's Sew-N-Vac Shoppe” and continued to expand.  In 1988, Godby purchased "The Sewing Machine Store" in the Farm Shopping Center in Tulsa, OK and expanded to include multiple machine brands.
