Its products are categorized into departments including Audio, Baskets, Bath, Closets, Furniture, Kids, Kitchen, Laundry, Novelty, Office, and Utility. The company's motto is "Make Room for Living."[1] Storables was founded in 1981 by owner Dodd Fischer, who had an interest in the housewares/lifestyle store concept. At the time, the storage goods business was beginning to emerge as a specialty niche in the housewares business, with plastic storage containers and organizers beginning to appear in department stores.[2] The first Storables shop was located in Beaverton, Oregon, outside of Portland, and by 1985 the company had rapidly grown to five locations in California, Oregon, and Washington State. The stores were comparatively small at that time, averaging about 1,000 square feet.[2] By 1992, the product range had grown to feature additional options, materials, and colors, which required a larger store format.[2] In 2005, Storables expanded into both Scottsdale, Arizona, and Edina, Minnesota, after a competitor, Organized Living, went bankrupt, making the two locations available.[3] The economic downturn eventually led to the closing of both stores, with the Arizona outlet closing in 2009 and Minnesota in 2011.[4][5] It also closed its California locations in 2014. Currently, Storables operates in two locations, including one in Seattle, Washington, and one in Portland, Oregon - which is closing at then end of March, 2019.[6] It also had a significant presence online but it appears shoddy leadership after Fisher’s retirement even prevented success on the World Wide Web pand has ventured into various business-to-business relationships.[7] See also
