TravelStore Awarded Best Places to Work SoCal 2025
TravelStore is thrilled to be honored with the 2025 Best Places to Work SoCal Award! This award recognizes TravelStore’s dedication to continual self-improvement, listening to our employees, and maintaining our commitment to our deeply rooted company values. We are proud to announce we are ranked #18 for the Southern California region!
“This recognition is a direct reflection of the culture, collaboration, and commitment our staff and independent affiliates bring to our company every day” says Brian Crawford, President and CEO of TravelStore. As a 100% employee-owned company, TravelStore’s culture of caring for its employees comes from within. The personal investment of each employee results in people who give their all and feel truly important at work. “This [is] a place where people feel valued, supported, and inspired” continues Crawford, “As a 100% employee-owned company, we believe that shared ownership fosters accountability, pride, and a deep commitment to excellence. We also offer our sincere appreciation to our invaluable independent affiliates, whose exceptional talent and expertise are indispensable to our continued success.”
Another part of what makes TravelStore a great place to work is the intersection between our industry – travel – and how it shapes us as people. At TravelStore, we believe in the power of travel to forge good world citizens. It is through exposure to different cultures and perspectives through travel that we become more caring of the people around us. We recognize our similarities and differences and build upon a foundation of respect that is reflected in the workplace. We foster a culture of connectivity and collaboration, nurturing every business relationship with care and attention to detail. Travel connects us and we are proud proponents of its benefits.
This year TravelStore celebrates 50 years of excellence in the travel industry. What began as two people and two desks has grown into 7 branches with over 250 employees and independently affiliated travel advisors. Even in our growth, we have never lost our family feeling. This culture is often what our employees and independent affiliates tell us is their favorite part about working with TravelStore.
Awards like Best Places to Work remind us of what makes us special. We are happy to take a moment to celebrate this achievement – and keep building on what makes us great.
