Crow River Glass is under new ownership.

Crow River Glass has proudly served Hutchinson and the surrounding area for over 40 years, providing expert glass repair, replacement, and installation for automotive, residential, commercial, and agricultural needs.

Our story began in January 1984, when the business was purchased by Rick Van Zee and managed by Gary Forcier. Crow River Glass was originally located at 37 Monroe Street. In March 1988, Gary became the sole owner and built Crow River Glass into a trusted local name — known for honesty, craftsmanship, and service. In 1995 Crow River Glass, Inc. moved to 492 Hwy 7 East until 1999. In 1999 Gary built the building where Crow River Glass is now located on Michigan St. In 2006 Crow River Glass expanded into the sign business with AJ leading this new venture. AJ and his wife Jessica became minority owners. In 2010 both businesses were growing beyond expectations. AJ and Jessica sold their minority shares in Crow River Glass and purchased the equipment and assets of Crow River Signs and moved the sign business to a new location. Over the years AJ and Gary continued to help each other out on projects. In 2014 AJ and Jessica relocated the sign business next door to the glass shop, where it is currently located. After nearly four decades at the helm, Gary retired on June 1st, 2025.

Today, Crow River Glass enters a new chapter under the ownership of AJ & Jessica Forcier, making it a third-generation, family-run business. With over 25 years of experience in glazing and deep roots in the industry, AJ is committed to taking Crow River Glass into the future — using the latest products and methods while staying true to the values that built our reputation.
