About Jason Parke

Jason is a native of Springfield, and graduate of Glendale High and Missouri State University. As a high school athlete, Jason enjoyed the camaraderie of a team. Jason served as a Board Member of Champions Committed to Kids, a charity taking kids fighting chronic illness/disability giving them a chance to be apart of an athletic team. Jason is a gradate of Leadership Springfield Class 29, recipient of the 2014 SBJ 40 Under 40 Award and was a finalist for the 2014 and 2017 Small Business Award presented by the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce. After completing college, Jason started his career at Lincoln-Evans Land Title Company where he worked for 3 years. During that time, Jason learned many aspects of the business while working in different satellite offices throughout the company. In 2007 Jason taught himself how to screen print t-shirts and started a screen printing shop in the garage of his Granddad’s business. For a about a year and a half, Jason ran J Parke Screen Printing and was solely responsible for all aspects of the business. In 2009, Jason purchased Corner Graphics. The business was near closing. Jason changed the name back to The Greek Corner and hit the ground running. After facing the struggles of purchasing a failing business, The Greek Corner has once again established itself as one of Springfield’s more recognizable local brands. In 2013, The Greek Corner celebrated our 30th Anniversary by receiving the Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics. In the time since the acquisition, Jason has moved the company from locations in Springfield and Nixa into a single production facility, more than quadrupled sales revenue and increased staff from 3 employees to 13 employees. In January of 2014, Jason purchased Integrity Designs & Embroidery allowing The Greek Corner to have all production, screen printing and embroidery, under one roof. In 2018, Jason purchased Bigfish Screenprinting and new, much larger production facility.
