About Us
A lot has changed since J. Thayer Company opened its doors in Beaverton, Oregon, in 1955, but our promise to our customers remains the same. We are committed to giving outstanding customer service.
​
In today's tech-driven marketplace we know you have choices when shopping for business products and office furniture. That's why it's more important than ever to stick to what has differentiated us all these years. We are committed to being your strategic partner for all your office needs — supplies, furniture, printing, promotional products, cleaning and breakroom supplies, and packaging supplies.

We remain a family-owned-and-operated business and treat our customers like family, as well. We believe that when your business has the tools it needs to succeed you can do great things. And we love watching the local businesses in our communities prevail.
​
We've grown quite a bit the past 67 years — from our one stationery store in Oregon to our current offices in Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, and Colorado and 32 distribution centers nationwide. J. Thayer Company is now one of the leading Independent office supply companies in North America. Buying from an independent company means supporting the local communities that those businesses serve.
​
More than half of J. Thayer employees have been with our company for more than a decade, working closely with local businesses over a long period of time to ensure their business product needs are met. We're passionate about what we do and our team has a lot of fun.
​
We're excited to work with you. We are J. Thayer Company — "the better way to business." ™

Keep Dollars in Your Community
When you shop local, you stay local.
For every $100 spent at a local business, as much as $68 stays in the local economy,
compared to $43 when the same amount is spent at a chain store,
according to the Andersonville Study of Retail Economics.
​
Our support staff, delivery drivers, warehouse associates and account executives live
in the local community and give back to the local community.
