About Janet Wischnia // Janet is the founder of American Blossom Linens and one of the owners of Thomaston Mills, the manufacturer of American Blossom Linens. Janet grew up in Elkins Park, PA and lives in the same neighborhood today. She attended the University of Pennsylvania and received her MBA from Drexel University.
Since she was 4 years old, Janet has been involved with the family business started by her grandfather, who opened their first storefront on South Street, Philadelphia in 1931!
Janet learned from the ground up about the textile industry, from manufacturing to marketing and even sweeping the floors. Thomaston Mills (the manufacturing company owned by Janet and the manufacturer of American Blossom) provides linens for hospitals and hotels across the nation and now sells direct-to-consumer after Janet noticed the need for sustainable products, impeccably made in the USA. She’s dedicated to making eco-friendly products that last for years and never go out of style. American Blossom Linens are the ONLY providers of American-made 100% organic cotton sheets sold in the nation.
