DEL.ICIO.USPier 1 Furniture does beauty
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Would you like a side of perfume with that side chair?
You might if you shop at Pier 1.
Pier 1 Imports, the furniture retailer that hit a homerun importing Papasan chairs almost 30 years ago, recently introduced beauty products to the merchandise mix.
Last year, the store began stocking a line of spa products called Prann, which includes everything from body sprays to hair treatments. This summer, they added a body care line called Nature’s Minerals.
According to a recent article in retail trade publication, Women’s Wear Daily, the company is rolling out at least five more collections of bath and body care products and accessories for spring.
Information about the line, which includes scents such as freesia, and Pink Grapefruit and costs from $1.50 to $30, was unveiled at a press conference in New York earlier this month.
I have to say, generally when I stroll into Pier 1, the last thing I’m looking for is beauty products. But hey, it’s a tough market out there, who can blame them for diversifying?
What do you think of a furniture store selling beauty products? Would you trust the quality?
