JR United has a long and proud history dating back to the 1960s. Julio Reinerman (J.R.) Grosfeld, a Cuban Jew who immigrated to the United States and worked as a traveling bedspread salesman, saw an opportunity to become his own boss. He founded JR United in 1967, and soon added his older brother, Jaime, to the organization. Together, they created the first sheet sets sold in the United States. As the company grew, Julio expanded it nationwide.
