About American Awnings
Our History
American Awnings was established in 1994 by Tony’s father, Dominic Damore. During the process of adding two retractable awnings on his own home, Dominic discovered the need for an awning supplier in the area. Dominic, having recently retired from Letterkenny Army Depot, was ready to take on a new venture and began American Awnings, selling and installing high quality retractable awnings in Shippensburg Pennsylvania and the surrounding area.
At the time, Tony had his own career and also regularly helped his father install awnings. Eventually, Dominic was ready to retire and Tony took over the business. Since 2010, Tony has grown the business considerably, through advertising and a great reputation!
Tony’s wife, Sheila, retired from her career in 2022 and joined the business full-time.
