Valley Yellow Pages

Valley Yellow Pages is owned by AGI Publishing, Inc., and is an independent Yellow Pages directory publisher serving 45 markets in Northern and Central California. An independent Yellow Pages publisher is a company that publishes Yellow Pages directories as alternatives to the local phone companies. The independent directories include similar headings and advertisements, and are distributed by the USPS to local households in the market areas.

Valley Yellow Pages is headquartered in Fresno, CA with employees throughout Northern and Central California.

History

AGI Publishing, Inc. was founded by three former Pacific Bell executives in 1985. It was established on the principle of bringing direct competition to the Yellow Pages marketplace. For years, utility companies held a monopoly on the marketplace. Valley Yellow Pages was created to provide consumers with a better product and advertisers with substantial advertising savings.

In 1987, AGI Publishing began operations as Valley Yellow Pages and established corporate offices in Fresno, California. The first directory, serving the communities of Fresno and Clovis, was published in 1988.
