Company History
Founded in 1989 by John McManus. Magellan's has been praised as:
"The nation's most respected source of travel products by mail"
(Forbes) "The widest selection of travel accessories currently
available from a single source" (The Washington Post) "The
granddaddy of them all" (The New Jersey Record). Magellan's
has been included on Inc. Magazine's annual listing of the 500 fastest
growing privately held companies in the United States for three
years.
Prior to founding Magellan's, both John and his wife, Gloria,
traveled extensively as executives at PanAm. Products for the first
Magellan's catalog were gathered from their own experiences as professional
travelers. Within two years, the catalog had grown by 50% and a
retail store was opened in Santa Barbara. Over the years, additional
product lines were added to Magellan's, including travel clothing
and products designed for business travel.
Magellan's trains their staff on all aspects of Magellan's products
and the special needs of international travelers. John and Gloria
attribute the success of Magellan's to strict adherence to the company's
fundamental principles: offering products of the highest caliber,
never compromising superior customer service, and standing behind
every product with a 100% guarantee of satisfaction. These beliefs
have brought Magellan's national recognition for service and products
that is second to none.
Founding Principles
Magellan's was founded by people who love travel for its ability
to enrich our lives and increase our appreciation for the world
in which we live. By sharing our knowledge and experience with other
travelers, and offering useful and appreciated products to ease
the bumpy roads, we help make travel a more comfortable, safe, and
rewarding experience. We owe our success to three core principles:
Providing travelers with a single source of state-of-the-art, quality
travel products
Providing up-to-the-minute and well-researched information to meet
the needs of all travelers
Providing an exceptional customer experience
These principles are as relevant today as they were when Magellan's
was founded in 1989. And while we have responded to changing market
conditions, embraced technology, and are constantly adapting our
strategies to continue to meet the ever-changing needs of our customers,
these principles, aligned with our organizational values, continue
to define the way we do business. Our achievements are the direct
result of the efforts of each individual in our organization.
If you're a serious traveler, you'll appreciate Magellan's Catalog.
