Williams-Sonoma, Inc., incorporated in 1973, is a multi-channel specialty retailer
of high quality products for the home.
In 1956, our founder, Chuck Williams, turned a passion for cooking and eating
with friends into a small business with a big idea. He opened a store in Sonoma,
California, to sell the French cookware that intrigued him while visiting Europe
but that could not be found in America. Chuck’s business, which set a
standard for customer service, took off and helped fuel a revolution in American
cooking and entertaining that continues today.
In the decades that followed, the quality of our products, our ability to identify
new opportunities in the market and our people-first approach to business have
facilitated our expansion beyond the kitchen into nearly every area of the home.
Additionally, by embracing new technologies and customer-engagement strategies
as they emerge, we are able to continually refine our best-in-class approach
to multi-channel retailing.
Today, Williams-Sonoma, Inc. is one of the United States’ largest e-commerce
retailers with some of the best known and most beloved brands in home furnishings.
We currently operate retail stores in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico,
Australia and the United Kingdom, and franchise our brands to third parties
in a number of countries in the Middle East, the Philippines and Mexico. Our
products are also available to customers through our catalogs and online worldwide.
