Bill and Lucille Crismon started with a small freestanding gift shop and newsstand in the new modern Salt Lake City Municipal Airport. It was June of 1961 when the doors opened on this first chapter of what later became Air Terminal Gifts, Inc (ATG).
Today, the current second generation owners, Kathy and Tom Crismon, continue the legacy that brought success to the company over the past 43 years. With the assistance of a dedicated management team and staff, the company has grown to 17 stores, of which 16 are located in the Salt Lake International Airport. In addition to third generation family members' involvement, there are key management and staff that have been with the company in excess of 20 years.
Air Terminal Gifts is majority woman owned company and certified DBE through Utah Unified Certification Program.
