History
Tom and Carol Davis were first introduced by Karl Pence, the ICON newspaper sponsor at Chopticon High School in 1980. Tom was a photographer/reporter for the school newspaper and Carol was a photographer for the school yearbook. It didn't take long to realize they had a lot in common. Dating throughout high school and thereafter, the two were married in April 1986. By 1993, they were the proud parents of Mike and Emily and knew they wanted a way for Carol to be able to work from home.

Through the guidance of Tom's mom, Zora, and her husband, Harry (Owners of Kennesaw Graphics in Kennesaw, GA) Hilltop Graphics was born. Initially, as a printing brokerage offering wedding invitations, it didn't take long for it to grow into much more.

Two thousand three marked the completion of a 1100 square foot addition to their home to accomodate the business and a letter of resignation to Carols full time job. After ten years of working a regular full time job during the day and concentrating on Hilltop in the evening, Carol quit the full time job and dedicated her efforts to building Hilltop. June 2005 marked the purchase of their largest piece of equipment... a 48 inch large format printer. This purchase made a major impact on production. In December 2005 it was obvious a retail area was needed. Displaying product from business to business from a cardboard box was no longer an option.

Ironically, a vacant space in Leonardtown became available - a little smaller than the home addition, it proved to be an ideal location to start. December 2005 marked the signing of a lease in Leonardtown and in April 2006 Carol and Tom celebrated their grand opening of Hilltop Graphics in a retail space.

Life in Leonardtown has moved FAST. The business has grown and blossomed creativly and continues with every new idea that walks in. In February of 2007 we celebrated the rollout of the new WOW van for the St. Mary's County library. May marked the awarding of The Beacon Award from the Chamber of Commerce and June celebrated the awarding of the Leading Edge Small Business of the Year from the College of Southern Maryland.

We enjoy the challeges our customers bring to us.

Hilltop Graphics IS the extension of your imagination.






Future Goals
Expansion is on the horizon for Hilltop Graphics. After moving to a 1,300 square foot space in Leonardtown in April 2006, we discovered quickly that we were out of room. Plans to expand to a larger space in September 2007 (we hope !) are in the works. Check back and see pictures of our new digs !! Our expansion will mean a full size sign showroom (the only one in St. Mary's County), a larger gift area and an expansion of our already large product line.
