Pier 1 Imports Inc. is a Fort Worth, Texas–based omnichannel retailer specializing in imported home furnishings and decor, particularly furniture, table-top items, decorative accessories, and seasonal decor. It is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker PIR.[2]

History

The first Pier 1 Imports store opened in San Mateo, California in 1962 under the name Cost Plus Imports. From Encyclopedia.com:

"Charles Tandy and Luther Henderson opened the precursor to Pier 1 shops in 1962 under the name Cost Plus. Henderson was serving as treasurer for Tandy’s burgeoning Tandy Corporation, which became best known for its Radio Shack chain. Pier 1 was inspired by the owner of a rattan furniture importer and wholesaler in San Mateo, California, who was having credit problems. To help liquidate costly inventory, the shop owner opened a liquidation outlet in 1958 called Cost Plus. Impressed by the shop’s success, Tandy offered the owner of Cost Plus a loan to start a retail Cost Plus outlet. At the same time, Tandy secured the rights to open and operate additional stores under the Cost Plus name."

According to the company's official history, the original store catered to hippy baby boomers and featured love beads and incense.[3]

By 1966, changing it's name to Pier 1 Imports, the company had grown to 16 store locations, and established its corporate headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas.

Pier 1 went public on the American Stock Exchange in 1970 and later joined the New York Stock Exchange in 1972.[3] At this time, the company had grown to 123 stores, posted 100 percent sales gains for four consecutive years, and opened stores internationally in Australia and Europe. A Pier 1 store in Royal Oak, Michigan reached annual sales of $1 million in 1979. By 1985, the Pier 1 chain grew to 265 stores, with the management goal of doubling that number by 1990.

Pier 1 had a presence in Japan, in Greater Tokyo Area between April 1996 and early 2002 as franchised stores operated by Akatsuki Printing Co.[4][5] There were 5 stores by early 1997[6], 16 by fiscal 1998[7], 18 by fiscal 1999[8], which shrunk to just 9 by early 2000.[9]

On December 29, 2006, Standard & Poor's bumped Pier 1 Imports Inc. down one spot and off the bottom of the S&P MidCap 400 Index when it added Parametric Technology Corp. (NASDAQPMTC), a software company.[10] As of December 2012, the company had sales of $418 million.[11]

In April 2008, Chesapeake Energy bought the headquarters of Pier 1 for $104 million.[12][13]

In May 2017, Alasdair James became CEO following Alex Smith's departure in December 2016.[14] In December 2018, Alasdair James was replaced by veteran CEO Cheryl Bachelder. Bachelder is serving as interim CEO.

On January 6, 2020, it was announced that Pier 1 will close 450 stores, citing "a reduction in corporate headcount.".[15][16]

Pier 1 Imports store in Canada

The chain operates 973 stores[82] under the name Pier 1 Imports in the United States and Canada (with about 59 locations[83]). The company also had a children's furniture and accessories retail concept in the United States called Pier 1 Kids which was disbanded in September 2007. It was a member of the S&P MidCap 400 list through the end of 2006, when it was bumped off the list.

Pier 1 Imports also owned a chain of home-decor retailers (40 locations as of February 2006) in the United Kingdom called "The Pier" until it was sold to Palli Limited, a subsidiary of the Iceland-based Lagerinn ehf in March 2006 for approximately $15 million.[84] This chain went into Administration in December 2008 and was finally closed in January 2009.[85]

On April 17, 2019, Pier 1 announced plans to close up to 145 stores in its 2020 fiscal year ending in March. The company had already closed 30 locations in its 2019 fiscal year.[82]

Pier 1 announced on market close, January 6, 2020, that it planned to close up to 450 locations, several distribution centers and reduce its corporate expenses. The company said it has contracted a liquidation company to close the stores.[86]

Merchandise

Pier 1 merchandise consists of home furnishings and items including accessories such as candles, vases, and picture frames as well as full-sized upholstered furniture, hand-carved armoires, large-scale vases and eclectic wall décor. Items are imported, created in conjunction with foreign designers, or produced by Pier 1's Trend and Product Development team.[87]

Partnerships

Pier 1 has been a corporate partner of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF since 1985—its longest-running corporate partnership—generating more than $42 million by selling UNICEF greeting cards, cause marketing, and emergency relief for Afghanistan, Haiti, and Iraq, as well as areas affected by the Indian Ocean tsunami.[88]

Former spokespeople for the company, seen largely in broadcast commercials, include Cheers alumna Kirstie Alley and Thom Filicia of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
