Last week’s answer

Founded in 1962 in California, I began by selling beanbags, love beads and incense. Today I’m based in Texas and operate more than 1,000 home fashions stores around the world. In my last fiscal year, I raked in nearly $2 billion in sales. I employ roughly 18,000 people, and my buyers scour merchandise from more than 50 nations. Sixty-five percent of my merchandise is different each year. My recent marketing campaign encourages shoppers to “get in touch” with their senses. Whoever doesn’t like me can take a long walk off a short me. Who am I? (Answer: Pier 1 Imports)
