  • Here’s to making work a little sweeter! Since 2020, Crate & Barrel HQ has been home to on-site beehives that support a healthy local ecosystem up to 3 miles away. Our friends from The Hive Supply recently visited to check on the hives, giving our team a fascinating look into honey production and the vital role these insects play in our environment. The best part? The honey harvested goes straight to our company kitchen! A big thank you to our Green Collab (our associate community group dedicated to sustainability and environmental stewardship) for organizing this fun and informative event. If you're interested in being part of the vibrant, community-minded team at Crate & Barrel, we are hiring!

  • Happy #NationalInternDay! At Crate & Barrel Holdings, we see internships as a unique opportunity to build relationships, learn from each other, and help the next generation of retail professionals picture their future careers. In addition to their individual projects, our interns have participated in discussions with our leadership team, toured our stores, and gone behind the scenes at our in-house photo studio (complete with bonus headshots!) Today, they are visiting our state of the art distribution center to see how we fulfill personalized orders and learn the customer fulfillment process, hands-on. This 360 view provides our interns with a foundation of essential skills and a clear understanding of our business. On this National Intern Day, we are celebrating not only the brilliant intern class today, but also the 20 current associates who first joined us as interns. Whether you are just starting out with us or have grown into full-time roles across the organization, thank you for contributing to the success and evolution of our company. To our interns past and present, and the associates who mentor them: you are an integral part of our success. Thanks for being here!
