Cost Plus World Market

Cost Plus World Market was founded by William Amthor in 1958 on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, California. Amthor sold some extra rattan furniture that he had imported.

Christmas Tree Shops Corporate Office

Christmas Tree Shops

Christmas Tree Shops were founded in 1970 in Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, by Doreen and Chuck Bilezikian.

The company operates a chain of discount stores offering everything from patio furniture to blankets, food to toys, household goods to Christmas items. The focus is on Christmas items, including lights, decorations, and trees, but the company sells a very wide variety of just about everything under the sun.
