In 1985, the Company introduced its first store carrying a full line of domestics merchandise and home furnishings.

In June 2003, the Company acquired CTS, a retailer of giftware and household items, which operated 23 stores at the time located in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Rhode Island.
