Christian Book Distributors was started in 1978 by two brothers who were 19 and 14 years old at the time out of their parent's home in Lynn, MA. In 1981 one brother graduated college and the other graduated high school while the business graduated out of "Mom and Dad's home" into their first commercial facility in Peabody, MA. In 1984 the company built a 30K square foot facility in the Centennial Industrial Park in Peabody. By 1996 CBD had completely outgrown the site and built a new 300K square foot facility across the street where it remains today employing a staff of just over 500. The company continues to be a family affair with the younger of the two brothers still involved with the company in addition to his 80 year old mother and 23 year old son.
