Online Stores ranks in Pittsburgh 100 Six Years Running

Online Stores, Inc. celebrates its sixth consecutive year on the Pittsburgh 100, a list of the fastest growing companies in the Pittsburgh area. Even in this limping economy, Online Stores, Inc. reported 26.84% growth in revenue sales from 2008 to 2010, placing them 64th among other burgeoning companies of western Pennsylvania.

As reported in the Pittsburgh Business Journal on August 26th, Online Stores, Inc. also ranked 6th in the Retail/Wholesale/Distribution category. Owners Lisa and Kevin Hickey started selling American flags from their basement in January 2001 and have since molded their business into an ecommerce powerhouse that yields over $25 million in annual sales. Located in New Stanton, PA, their company is expanding yearly, employing approximately 100 workers and counting.

Vice President Kevin Hickey stated that it would’ve been impossible to rank in the Pittsburgh 100 for six years running without the hard work and dedication of an excellent team of managers and staff.

Online Stores, Inc. currently operates over 20 retail websites, selling everything from flags and flagpoles, safety equipment, and tea to strollers, garden tools, and promotional products.

To the Toppermost of the Poppermost!

In Announcements,Awards on May 5, 2010 by Sam Tagged: ,

In 2009 Online Stores, Inc. continued its climb to the top of the e-commerce heap, coming in at an attractive number 27 in the mass merchants category of the Internet Retailer’s list of the top 500 online merchants known to man. The Top 500 Guide, as the list is known, is the only authoritative ranking of the nation’s most successful e-retailers.

In the previous edition of the The Top 500 Guide, OLS saw itself ranked at number 28 in the mass merchants category. Number 28 is a nice place to be, but OLS is a company that is constantly striving to better itself in any way possible.

OLS’ rise in the rankings can surely be attributed to the success of its new stores. Landscapersstore.com, for example, has been winning the praise of many members of the landscaping community, and after only a few short months of existence, DefibExperts.com, a site selling Automated External Defibrillators, or AEDs, is already a runaway success.

The Social Media and Advertising Departments at OLS also deserve much of the credit for helping the company improve its position on the list. Headed up by some of OLS’ brightest and most brilliant employees, these two departments have striven valiantly to bring the company more valuable recognition.

I sure hope OLS isn’t afraid of heights, because it certainly appears this company truly is going straight to the top!!
