COMPANY HISTORY

 

Sinatra’s Top of the Line began in the early 80’s growing out of Midwest Marketing.  Herman Sinatra, owner & president, had been working in the food business most his life and decided to offer gourmet food products under his family name/label.  What began as a small family company suddenly began taking off with interest across the United States and Europe.  Quality products along with an attractive label; black, gold and red with the Sinatra name, seemed to spark much excitement.  The company was on the move!

 

Unfortunately Mr. Sinatra became very ill in August of 91, and without much warning died suddenly.  Left to manage the entire business on her own was his only child, Anna Marie Sinatra.  Having been working with her Dad since the mid 80’s in sales and marketing, she jumped right in with great determination.  Suddenly she became an importer and supplier along with all the other hats she was wearing.  Managing the entire company on her own became increasing difficult. So she sought out business associates that showed interest in coming aboard. Anna Marie had also been a community activist all her adult life.  Following in her Father and Grandfathers foot prints, the late Samuel Sinatra of Sinatra Real Estate, she also volunteered much of her time determined to “Make a Difference”  in  her community.  Utilizing all her skills and contacts, she ventured out into the entertainment field with Sinatra’s Top of the Line; producing, promoting and marketing many events in the Western New York Area.  Well known not only in her immediate community but also in the African American, Hispanic and Native American Community, she found it very rewarding in bringing these groups together through various activities.

 

Today the company is now known as Sinatra Solutions.  Once again utilizing all the skills she so eloquently developed over the years, you can find her in a variety of settings.  From coaching an individual who may be stuck in a certain area of their life to move through temporary challenging times to consulting with  business owners and community organizations  to better improve their quality of service and/or production quota.  In some cases coaching someone who is beginning a new business.  If she can’t help you she will surely hook you up with the person/organization that can!! Guaranteed!!
