Potteryland was founded June 22, 1956, by Donald and Shirley Adam.

That year around metropolitan Detroit, indoor malls were opening up with names like Northland, Eastland, Southland and Westland; so Potteryland seemed like a good fit.

 

In 1989 Gary and Colleen Adam purchased the business from Gary's parents, and years later would bring their sons Chad and Troy into the family business. In 2008 the business expanded onto the internet to reach customers across America.

 

On July 31st 2017 after 61 years of business in the same location, Gary and Colleen retired and permanently closed the retail store. The online store will keep the legacy and the name alive while allowing a more flexable work schedule that the family always desired.
