Business Spotlight on Bainbridge Engraving

Owner Matthew Reynolds
814 S.Scott Street
Bainbridge, GA 39819

How was your business founded?  
Bainbridge Engraving was founded in 1994 by Chrissy Ryals who saw the need for an engraver in Bainbridge.  Matt Reynolds bought the business in 2000 and moved it to the current location on Scott Street in 2002.

Tell us something about your business others don't know. 
We carry gifts and engrave most things others will not touch.  Even items brought to us from other businesses.  We are a  full, one stop shop for all your engraving needs.  Personalize your items and make that special occasion last forever.


How does the Chamber support your business?    
The Chamber has been an outstanding tool for our community by promoting events and local businesses.  They are a great addition to our community.
