The Hastings location is part of the Carlson enterprise, a closely-held family company now in its third generation of ownership. Carlson's roots go back to 1938, when founder Curtis L. Carlson launched the Gold Bond Stamp Company in Minneapolis with a fifty-five dollar loan from his landlord. In 2018, Carlson established Carlson Private Capital Partners, a private investment firm based in the Twin Cities that partners with management teams to build long-term value. The enterprise is guided by the Carlson Credo, which calls on everyone associated with the company to act with integrity, lead, serve with caring, and never give up. Leadership is overseen by a Board of Directors that includes Laura M. Born, Geoffrey Gage, Richard C. Gage, Scott C. Gage, Diana L. Nelson, Wendy M. Nelson, Ken Powell, and Michael T.P. Sweeney. Among the recent headlines from the broader Carlson organization, Scott C. Gage was appointed Chair of Carlson, Inc. in July 2025, Carlson Private Capital added Quantum Design International to its portfolio in October 2024, and the firm expanded its portfolio with an investment in Thermo Systems in November 2022.
