Overstock.com
In the Spring of 1999, Dr. Patrick Byrne recognized the potential of liquidating excess inventory through the Internet. While there will always be traditional shoppers walking through retail doors, a significant number of consumers also desire good quality merchandise, but abhor the mall experience. That is where Overstock.com comes in.
The Salt Lake City-based company launched a few months later on October 5, 1999, bringing the outlet mall to the consumer via the Internet and providing the same brand-name products found in traditional retail stores at deep discounts.
Overstock.com has established partnerships with many leading brand-name companies. Due to these relationships, we are able to buy products at significant discounts, which then allows us to pass these incredible savings on to you.
