In one of the most challenging years for U.S. retailers in decades, housewares purveyor Kitchen Kaboodle of Portland, Oregon, revolutionized its business, wowed its customers and won international media attention for its bold retailing strategy. For example, Kitchen Kaboodle changed its business hours from seven days a week to four—its four historically busiest days of selling – Thursday to Sunday. This move allowed the retailer to lower its prices on every single item in the store, in most cases to a lower price than can be found anywhere else. The result has been five Portland-area stores full of happy customers and a sustainable business for a retailer with a nearly 35-year history in housewares.
