History
Gift Card Granny was founded by Luke Knowles in Fort Collins, Colorado in 2009.[5][7][8] It was a part of several sites that Knowles had founded that were collectively called "The Frugals," (Coupon Sherpa and Free Shipping Day were two others). At the time, it was the first gift card comparison site.[8] For most of the website's early years, Gift Card Granny was run solely by Luke Knowles.[2]
In 2013, the website was acquired by internet entrepreneur and founder of GiftCards.com, Jason Wolfe, and his company, Wolfe.com. After GiftCards.com was acquired in early 2016 by Blackhawk Network Holdings, Wolfe became Gift Card Granny's CEO.[2] In December 2016, Wolfe moved the company to Green Tree, Pennsylvania (a Pittsburgh suburb) to the same facility that had earlier housed GiftCards.com. The company currently employs 39 people.[2][9]
