Crate And Barrel History
Crate And Barrel was founded in the year 1962. The company has been active for over 55 years now. The founders of the company were Carol Segal and Gordon Segal. The idea was inspired after their honeymoon trip to Europe, where various durable and beautiful products were selling at prices that were reasonable. The founders started buying the products directly from the factories, and therefore, there was no mark-up cost of retailers. They also began to import some products from countries like Mexico and Thailand, and then was sold at their stores. By the year 1985, the company already had 17 stores under its name. In the year 1998, the company sold off its majority stake to Otto Group, in order to raise funding for more stores. Therefore, by 2004, the company had 135 stores. In 2008, the company started expanding outside of the USA.
