We're a $100M+ textile retailer experiencing 20-30% year-over-year growth, sourcing premium bedding globally from China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey while manufacturing our cotton line right here in the USA.
We sell across Amazon, Walmart, Target, our DTC channels, and international markets-and we're expanding operations from 110,000 to 220,000+ square feet. We're making significant investments in our supply chain and logistics team right now, growing from five to six team members.
