The History of Allan Company: 50+ Years of Spiritual Craftsmanship
In 1973, Richard Wilson and Lee Pavlik opened the doors of Allan Company in Houston, Texas — and a legacy was born. What started as a small spiritual goods shop has grown into one of Houston's most beloved metaphysical destinations, now celebrating over 50 years of handcrafted spiritual products and community connection.
A New Home at McGowen and 288
In 1980, Allan Company moved to its current location at McGowen and 288, where it remained until 2008. This corner of Houston has always been a community that values authenticity, craftsmanship, and independent spirit — values that align perfectly with everything Allan Company stands for. Walking through our doors feels like stepping into a place where time slows down and intention matters.
A Legacy Passed with Care
In 2008, Arlene Wilson took ownership of Allan Company, carrying forward the founders' vision while nurturing the store's deep roots in the Houston spiritual community. Allan Company was relocated in Houston Heights. In 2026, Carolyn became the proud new steward of this remarkable institution — committed to honoring its history while bringing fresh energy to its future.
Made Right Here in Houston
What truly sets Allan Company apart is that our products are compounded on-site. Our candles are manufactured in-house, and our oils, baths, powders, salts, and perfumes are all crafted right here in our Houston workshop. When you purchase from us, you're not buying mass-produced goods — you're receiving something made with knowledge, intention, and care by real hands.
From our handmade candles to our spiritual oils, every product carries the energy of over five decades of practice.
More Than a Store
Allan Company has always been more than a retail shop. It's a gathering place for seekers, practitioners, and curious minds. Whether you're new to spiritual practice or a lifelong devotee, you'll find knowledgeable staff, quality products, and a welcoming atmosphere that honors your path.
We're grateful for every customer who has walked through our doors — and for every online shopper who has found us from across the United States. Thank you for being part of the Allan Company story.
