Forbes places PIRCH on annual list of "America's Most Promising Companies"
NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PIRCH, a pioneering retailer in the midst of re-inventing its industry, now occupies the #25 position on Forbes' annual ranking of America's Most Promising Companies – a list of one hundred privately held, high-growth brands with bright futures.
"Appearing on this distinguished list at any point, in any business, would be a dream come true," said Jeffery R. Sears, CEO of PIRCH. "But to appear three times consecutively — and to have improved your ranking each time — makes us especially proud."
PIRCH carries a hand-culled array of best-in-class brands for indoor- and outdoor-kitchens, laundry rooms and the bath, from decorative plumbing to entire Health-and-Wellness systems. Unlike standard industry showrooms, the store offers consumers a 360° sensory experience, from live kitchens and grills to working showers, baths and sinks. "Our sole mission is to help customers to "feather their nests" with products that inspire moments of joy in their homes," added Sears.
Currently in seven markets spread over four states, PIRCH will open its next store on March 21st at the iconic Garden State Plaza (Paramus, NJ), followed in early 2016 by the brand's first three-story location, in New York City's SOHO district. In addition, plans call for the brand to open showrooms in several other major U.S. cities within the next 12-24 months.
ABOUT PIRCH
PIRCH was founded in 2009 by a group of seasoned entrepreneurs and business leaders who set out to prove that shopping for appliances and plumbing products could be inspirational. Now in the midst of a national expansion, the award-winning store has redefined not only an industry, but retail at large.
Driven by an unbridled passion to reinvent the entire retail shopping experience, PIRCH carefully curates and presents only "best of class" brands for indoor- and outdoor kitchens, the laundry room and the bath. The result is a "one-stop-shop" where guests can focus on what they want to do, rather than what they want to buy.
In an unparalleled commitment to a seamless shopping experience, PIRCH inspires first its customers to dream — and then boldly goes where its competitors fear to tread; indeed, the company manages the entire process, including delivery, installation and service by PIRCH team members, rather than anonymous third parties.
Fostering a culture of hospitality and kindness, PIRCH welcomes entering visitors at Bliss Café, with complimentary signature beverages. The guests are then invited to embark upon an endless journey of inspired living. From design ideas to culinary instruction, the PIRCH experience is best described as magical.
