Quality and Value from Watkins

Welcome to my Watkins store. I'm Peter Lehman and I am proud to be an Independent Watkins Associate. We feature the same kind of old fashioned quality and pride still found in Maine and Maine businesses like LL Bean’s. In 1869, Watkins offered America's first money-back guarantee—and we still have it. That's how confident and proud we are of the quality of our products. Best known for its award-winning cinnamon, black pepper and vanilla, Watkins carries a full line of natural, high quality, healthful oils and spices as well as other quality home products.

The Watkins story is unique

The Watkins Story began in 1868 with the vision of a 28-year-old entrepreneur, J.R. Watkins. In 1869 he introduced America's first money-back guarantee. From the beginning, the company emphasized quality. To meet demand, J.R. hired salesmen to market this growing line of products from home to home, thus founding the Direct Sales Industry.

“The Watkins Man” became an indelible part of the landscape as North America matured. In 1928, Watkins received Gold Medal honors at the Paris International Exposition for vanilla, black pepper, cinnamon and other ground spices; the award sealed the company's reputation for providing high-quality gourmet ingredients.

J.R.’s dream lives on in the vision and entrepreneurial spirit of today’s “Watkins Men and Women.” Watkins invites you to become part of this tradition.

More recently, millions of Americans were moved to tears by the story of Watkins Associate Bill Porter when it appeared on ABC's 20/20 program. In fact, it received the largest viewer response of any show in the history of 20/20. More recently, many millions more were emotionally touched by the TNT Cable Channel's original motion picture about Bill Porter.

Bill was born in 1932 with cerebral palsy. At that time, society sent a clear message that people with Bill's condition couldn't hope for any level of success or independence. But Bill, who was encouraged by his mother, refused to give up.

Eventually, Bill became the top selling Watkins man in the Northwest---and he did it all with door-to-door selling, even though his physical challenges made every step painful. He continued his daily trek for decades, creating a successful life for himself.

Same company. Same quality. Same pride.
