You should read all of THIS. Grab your wine (boozer) and your laptop, and enjoy.
I didn't know all of this about Restoration Hardware. And I love the condo story.
A snippet:
On June 18, 2008 Restoration Hardware was de-listed from the NASDAQ and ceased to be a publicly traded company. They were bought by Catterton Partners, a private equity firm specializing in “middle market consumer companies.” They also own:
Outback Steakhouse
Archway
Breyers
Van’s
among many others.
Their “realized investments” (which I take to mean companies they bought, squeezed every drop of potential profitability from, then sold) include:
Build-A-Bear
PF Chang’s
Odwalla
Case Logic
Frederic Fekkai
Wellness Pet Foods
among others.
