It all started in 1992, when we opened our first retail store in Whitehall, PA. The store was small, consisting of about 900 square feet. We began by selling condoms, T-shirts, novelties, and well, not much else.

By 1993, we started adding vibrators, adult videos, and other items that our customers were requesting. By late 1995 we expanded into lingerie, but with such limited space we could only go so far... It was time to grow!

• November 1995 - Opened Exotic Dreams at 778 Third St. in Whitehall, PA. The store was a complete lingerie and gift boutique, offering dancewear, fetishwear, hosiery, B/D equipment, shoes, and adult toys.
• September 1997 - Opened a second Condoms Galore in Easton, PA. Being just a minute from the New Jersey border, this location allows us to reach customers in both the Easton area as well as those in Western New Jersey. Additionally, when you consider the fact that we are within one mile of 3 major highways, it becomes no surprise that we are frequented by customers from New York City, who are looking for a more comfortable shopping experience, without big city prices.
• May 1999 - Opened Gothic Erotica in Bethlehem, PA. As we were combining the stock of both our lingerie and condom stores, we felt a need to come up with a new name for this store, a neutral name. Now known as Condoms Galore Bethlehem, this upscale boutique offers the same great selection and service you've come to expect from the Gothic, Inc. stores.
• June 1999 - Incorporated under the name of Gothic, Inc.
• August 1999 - Work started on creating an internet presence to complement our stores, this brought the convenience and confidentiality of at home shopping to our existing customers, while expanding our company to reach world-wide markets.
• March 2001 - Opened our fifth location in Walnutport, Pennsylvania. This was an exciting step in our expansion, as we were now outside of the immediate Lehigh Valley area.
• September 2002 - Expanded Exotic Dreams by relocating to Catasauqua Road in Allentown, just off the Airport Road south exit of Route 22.

• November 2002 - Renamed Exotic Dreams to Exotic Dreams UnderGround, at the location of the original lingerie store in Whitehall, PA. At this location you will find a well stocked smoke shop, fetishwear, Leather and PVC, BDSM accessories, DVD's, and specialty toys.

• June 2003 - Opened Oh!Zone Video, an all DVD adult video store in Allentown, PA. From it's decor, to the 42" plasma screen TV, with over 5,000 titles in stock, Oh! Zone Video is poised to take Gothic, Inc. into the future of adult entertainment.
• July 2004 - Expanded Oh!Zone Video to over 2,200 square feet, adding a DVD clearance room, an expanded toy selection, and 13 state of the art preview booths.
• June 2005 - Relocated our business offices to a well appointed, 2,300 square foot facility. This move will allow us to streamline our business operations, and increase our purchasing power, allowing us to continue to offer our customers the best products, at the best prices in town.

• May 2010 - Opened our eighth store in Wind Gap, PA under the banner name Underground Gift & Novelty Company. This new concept store is a re-brand of Exotic Dreams Underground in Whitehall. A new website was rolled out at - www.undergroundcompany.com - for the new brand. The brand is a cross between a Condoms Galore store and the Underground stores in Whitehall.

• May 2010 - With two stores under the new brand Underground Gift & Novelty, we are scouting area's for our ninth and tenth stores to open under this new brand.
