WELCOME! 

Hello, Elvis Fans!

The 34^th Anniversary is fast approaching and, once again, we are looking forward to seeing all of you!  We still treasure the memories made at Memories of Elvis at Graceland Crossing!  No one can ever take that away from us!

 

Shortly after Elvis died, as many of you know, I had a dream to open a shop across from Graceland in order to sell photographs of Elvis.  I was young and gutsy and, against the advice of family and friends, I picked up everything I owned and opened a small store in the plaza.  My story is one of many exciting twists and turns in those early days.  It wasn’t simple to start the business with no merchandise to market.  I, along with other small-time shop-owners, worked hard to build a business that would be there for Elvis Fans worldwide.  The stores were the reason Elvis Fans returned to Graceland.  You supported us and we became a family.  When Graceland opened to the public, we were thrilled, as that gave fans another reason to come back to Graceland. 

When Elvis Presley Enterprises became involved in merchandising, many things changed, and despite our efforts to cooperate with the standards set forth, eventually Memories of Elvis, as all the other independent shops, was forced to close.  We have continued to keep in touch with those who were so loyal to us, all of you fans, all of whom we love so very much. 

 

Our exclusive designs have been collected throughout the years!  These collectibles will be remembered as unique, affordable and nostalgic.  It signifies an era never to be repeated.

 

Let’s remember to keep in touch and hold fast to bond we all have as true Elvis Fans!

Hope to see you soon!
