Info

Crate and Barrel is the leading home furnishings retailer today, with over 125 stores in 23 markets across the country. It began as a one-store, three-person operation in 1962, when its founders, Gordon and Carole Segal, wanted to open a shop for young people like themselves "with more taste than money". Its success has been based on well-designed products that are a good value for the customer, and the company is well known for the quality of both its merchandise and its 6,000-plus team of associates. Crate and Barrel sends out millions of catalogues each year, registers hundreds of thousands of brides, and now reaches all over the world through its website, www.crateandbarrel.com.
