At the same time, CSN has increased its staff significantly in the past year, moving up from 400 to 650+ to help drive and manage the company's ongoing expansion both in North America and overseas in the U.K. and Germany.
"Though the economy continues to fluctuate, we believe that Q3 and Q4 will be even busier and better for CSN than the first half of the year," said CSN Stores CEO and Co-Founder Niraj Shah. "Most of our 22 categories, both new and established, have seen significant growth. Barring any major economic setback, the Back-To-School and Holiday seasons should expedite that growth."
Some of the fastest-growing categories at CSN Stores so far this year include: Toys (up 155 percent); Housewares (up 101 percent); Upholstery (up 178 percent); Bedding (up 128 percent); and Pet Goods, which increased by 279 percent over the same period last year.
Among CSN Stores' many emerging categories, the flooring business (including hardwood flooring, laminate, vinyl, and bamboo) is one of the fastest-growing. Since launching this time last year, sales for that category have increased by more than 750 percent.
