Globally Inspired
Our Commitment
We’ve been around the world for over 55 years.
Founded by Gordon and Carole Segal in 1962, Crate and Barrel was born after a European honeymoon sparked the idea to bring simple, beautiful and practical housewares to the US market. Their passion resulted in our first storefront, which used crates and barrels as display fixtures in an old elevator factory on Chicago’s Wells Street. Today, we greet over 22 million customers in our stores each year and welcome more than 100 million visitors online.
Our Stores
Crate and Barrel has 89 stores and 8 outlets across the U.S. and Canada with 15 international franchise locations that showcase our celebrated housewares and extensive furniture collections. As a pioneer in experiential retail with vignettes for every room in the home, our in-store events span wedding registry and charity events to design and entertainment trends. We are a gifting destination and passionate about customer service, a combination
that has brought more than 2 million couples to Crate and Barrel for wedding registry alone.
In 2001, Crate and Barrel acquired The Land of Nod, a brand offering kids furniture and toys. In 2018, they became Crate&kids, the newest (and tiniest) member of Crate and Barrel, providing customers the opportunity to shop with us for even more of the moments that matter in their lives.
CB2
Established in 2002, CB2 is committed to high-quality, sophisticated design at an approachable price. Today, CB2 has 15 locations across the U.S. and in Canada. Its rapid expansion and reach is transforming the perception of home design for today’s modern customer. A forward thinker in experiential design, CB2 engages customers through curated brand experiences, such as their music-focused event called After Hours and bold design collaborations that have brought design and retail elites into the fold.
