ATG Stores Expands Into More Divisions of Home Improvement

Kirkland, WA, April 24, 2008 --(PR.com)-- ATG Stores, the parent company of 5 major e-commerce sites, 15 niche sites, and 12 showrooms located throughout Washington State, announces its expansion into several new divisions of homewares. The new channels to be added will include outdoor living, home furnishings, and home appliances.

ATG Stores began in 1999 solely as an online retailer of decorative lighting products. Since then, ATG has grown to develop divisions for plumbing, hardware, flooring, and accent décor products. ATG’s hope is that these new channels will help propel the ATG Stores family into a comprehensive one-stop-shop, providing everything customers need for the home.

“We’re incredibly excited about adding these new lines to our family of stores” said Luke Goff, Business Development Manager, “by expanding into more channels ATG will be able to offer customers an all-inclusive shopping experience, while also helping to strengthen our role as one of the top homewares providers on the web.”

OutdoorLivingShowroom.com, the first addition to be launched, will offer customers a wide selection of products, from outdoor cooking equipment including grills, barbeques, and smokers, to casual furnishings such as hammocks, patio sets, outdoor fire pits and heaters, umbrellas, and exterior rugs. The site will also offer a wide selection of accessories from furniture covers to grilling supplies, children’s playsets, and much more.

Another site currently in development will offer a complete catalog of home furnishings, from dining room tables to bedding, sofas, occasional furniture and beyond. ATG also plans to create several online stores for home appliances, offering everything from washers and dryers to ranges and refrigerators. As with their current sites, ATG’s customers can purchase all products online and have them delivered directly to their door.

What’s next for ATG Stores? This rapidly growing company plans to continue to progress by researching more divisions and niche sites for addition to its family of stores. With the recent opening of their 12th new local showroom in Smokey Point, WA, ATG continues to reinforce its position as one of the leading providers of decorative lighting, plumbing, flooring, and hardware in the nation.
