It was April of 1976 that Bob Kaessinger opened The Curtain Shop on Main St in New Rochelle, NY. Things were different back then but Bob quickly built the business up by offering Quality products, excellent Service, and a very good Selection. Over the next few years, the customer base grew and so did the the number of product lines. Fast forward about 13 years later and Louis Vaccaro (yours truly)
joined Bob's team as stock boy. The business continued to expand and grow in all sorts of directions as the world changed but the Quality, Service, and Selection at The Curtain Shop continued to be at the top of everyone's list. In 2006, Bob and Louis decided to create a website for The Curtain Shop and offer a few curtains from the store selections to see how things would go. CurtainShop.com was born and The Curtain Shop was now serving the entire United States a healthy dose of all the things that made the retail store so successful. Bob and Louis continue to run The Curtain Shop and CurtainShop.com to this day with the help of a dedicated and friendly staff. You might wonder how an independently owned store can compete in such a competitive market place with huge box stores and shopping clubs. The answer is really simple, Bob's original concept still works well : Quality, Service and Selection never go out of style.
