Garden Ridge Corporation
 PROFILE
Megastore retailer Garden Ridge offers decorating accessories for more than just the garden. The company operates 37 stores, each covering almost three acres and located off major highways, in 12 states (Texas has 16 stores). Its stores sell silk and dried flowers, baskets, candles, crafts, home accents, housewares, party supplies, pictures and frames, pottery, and seasonal items. In addition, the stores sell plants and furniture, and some have snack bars. Garden Ridge, which started with a single store outside of San Antonio in 1979, was bought by a group of investors (including chairman Armand Shapiro) led by Three Cities Research in early 2000.
