The Bombay Company, Inc., is a retailer of small pieces of ready-to-assemble furniture and home accessories, which operates nearly 450 stores in malls across North America. The company runs two chains: its signature store, which sells traditional, dark stained English-styled wooden furniture, and Alex & Ivy, a much smaller chain of stores with a country theme. Founded as a mail-order outfit, the Bombay Company exploited the fact that its affordable furniture pieces came packed in flat boxes to introduce impulse buying and mall-oriented shopping to the furniture business.
The Bombay Company got its start in 1975 as a mail-order business based in New Orleans. The company sold mahogany stained reproductions of small 18th and 19th century English furniture pieces, such as plant stands, night stands, and butler's tables, which were manufactured in the Far East. After running advertisements in upscale magazines such as theNew Yorker,the Bombay Company shipped its goods to customers in flat boxes, for assembly. Usually, all the customer had to do was screw the legs on. Entrepreneur Brad Harper, who founded the company with a partner, named the enterprise 'Bombay Company' in an effort to conjure up the glory of the British Empire at its height. However, most people missed the reference.
