Carhartt – January’s Featured Supplier

In Featured Suppliers on January 8, 2010 by Sam Tagged: , ,

Here at Online Stores, Inc., we like to give credit where credit’s due. When an employee goes above and beyond the call of duty, he or she is showered with bonuses and other accolades. The same goes for suppliers. When one of them keeps our warehouse stocked year after year with top-of-the-line products, we like to show how much we appreciate it by giving them a mention here on the blog, and this month we’d like to turn the spotlight towards the always dependable Carhartt.

OLS sells Carhartt products on Constructiongear.com, the best place on the Internet today to find all your work-wear essentials. Some of the Carhartt products offered on the site include work boots, winter overalls, jackets and work pants. And if that isn’t enough to spark an interest, we also offer Carhartt belts, gloves, socks and hats.

As everyone knows, Carhartt is hands down one of the most dependable manufactures of work-wear in the world today. Carhartt makes tough and rugged work-wear for both men and women, and customer reviews of their clothing are always positive. Yes, Sir, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone with anything bad to say about Carhartt. In fact, Carhartt is so dependable that they’ve managed to last 120 years in the rough and tumble world of work-wear. Not many companies can say that!

Carhartt was established in 1889 and has been a family-owned, family-operated business ever since. The company’s mission includes providing its customers – that’s you! – with “Best-In-Class apparel for the active worker.” Carhartt employs more than 3,500 people, and as the company continues to grow, so does its number of employees. The size of Carhartt’s facilities also continues to go. In March of 2009, for instance, Carhartt expanded its distribution center in Madisonville, Kentucky, by 360,000 feet. Best of all, when possible, Carhartt used green materials in the construction, including FCS certified lumber.

Get In Where You Fit In – OLS Finds Its Niche

In New Stores on January 6, 2010 by Sam Tagged: , , , , ,

Online Stores, Inc. has been undergoing some serious expansion in recent days, and according Kevin Hickey, co-founder and VP of the company, the plans for 2010 include more of the same.

“This year we expect to at least double our number of niche sites,” said Hickey.

What’s a niche site, you ask? I put that very question to OLS Business Development Manager, Marta DePaul.

“A niche site is an e-commerce site that focuses on a subset of a market. For example, Online Stores runs Discount Safety Gear as a supplier of a wide variety of safety items. SafetyGlasses.net is a niche site for safety items that retails only safety glasses and sports glasses.”

One of OLS’ newest niche sites, PerfectMatchBotique.com, offers personalized, hand-painted children’s furniture and toys. In the weeks to come, OLS is also planning to launch a site offering Automated External Defibrillators, or AEDs.
