The Bombay Company home decor brand is now available to consumers nationwide at 180 Kroger Co. stores.
Those stores include Dillons Marketplace, Fred Meyer, Fry's Marketplace, King Soopers, Kroger Marketplace and Smith's Marketplace locations.
The multi-department and marketplace retailers will feature Bombay's decor items, including mirrors, vases and novelty accents, as well as furniture pieces such as chairs, upholstered pieces, accent tables and iconic Bombay coffee tables. The Bombay items will only be available in store.
"Bombay has always stood for value luxury and time-tested quality," said Wil Hollands, president of Hermes-Otto International, the owner of The Bombay Company brand. "We are proud to partner with a group of retailers that represent those same qualities and are excited that consumers across the country will once again be able to shop for Bombay products in store."
The items range in price from approximately $6.99 to $399.99.
Once a multi-channel retailer with more than 450 stores and nearly $600 million in annual retail sales, Bombay has been repositioned for the wholesale market with programs suited to specialty, department and mass channels. The Bombay Companys collection is founded on wood furniture, embellished accessories and tabletop collections distinguished by classic styling and unexpected detail. Bombay continues to rank among the most recognized home decor brands, according to company research.
