Wally’s Party Factory

A Corsicana institution is changing its name. Card & Party Factory, which has been supplying Navarro County with party supplies since 1994, will now be Wally’s Party Factory. The store’s ownership and great staff are not changing.

Wally’s Party Factory is truly a discount party “Superstore.” The first thing customers will notice when they walk in is the “Balloon Zone,” which features over 300 different styles of Mylar balloons. Also in that area, customers can order custom balloon bouquets, arches, and arrangements for all occasions, including weddings, and school functions.

In addition to balloons, Wally’s carries a full line of party supplies for all occasions and themes: birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, showers, casino nights, Oscar nights, weddings, etc. Its huge selection of bagged, bulk party favors is great for teachers, carnivals, and fairs. According to the season, it also stocks merchandise for the holidays. In the fall, the store carries an extensive selection of Halloween merchandise, including costumes for all ages and sizes.

Wally’s Party Factory also offers custom services, such as custom wedding invitations, and custom imprinted napkins. Moreover, the store has custom indoor and outdoor banners, which are great for proms, corporate events, and “welcome home” parties.

Wally’s Party Factory also carries an enormous selection of greeting cards for every occasion, at discount prices.

Card & Party Factory/Wally’s Party Factory, which is based in Ennis, is the largest privately-held chain of independent party supply stores in the United States. The chain began operating in 1994, and has grown steadily over the past 14 years.

The company’s 31 party stores are located in Texas and Oklahoma.
