PROFILE |
 |
Lechters is hoping you give up on that missing vegetable peeler and spring for a new one. The leading US kitchenware retailer, Lechters operates about 325 stores in 36 states and Washington, DC. Nearly 80% of sales come from its full-price stores, which include Lechters Housewares, Super Lechters, and Lechters Kitchen Place; its off-price stores use the Famous Brands Housewares Outlet banner. The stores sell name-brand and private-label utensils, kitchen gadgets, cookware, small electric appliances, and other items. The Jewish Communal Fund (through a donation from chairman Donald Jonas) owns 26% of Lechters, which has entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy and closed 166 stores, including all of its Cost Less Home Stores.
