Cool stuff to play with in the mall and then look for the equivalent item for one-quarter the price on the net. Sometimes I feel guilty about showrooming, but Brookstone is so overpriced that I feel no guilt at all.

Spencer gifts, whose primary items are sex toys and pot paraphernalia, is buying them. Prepare for a whole new world of massage chairs!

I worked for Brookstone in Peterborough, New Hampshire, back in the 1970’s. At that time it was located in Guernsey Cattle Building. There were about 25 employees and all did everything. The company was owned privately by the DeLongchamps. At that time, the beginning of the company, everything was all about rare and unusual tools. The magazine that went out monthly to hundreds was very successful.
I and many others, miss the original Brookstone for it’s wonderful tools.

Brookstone drew attention in 2009 for firing man for holding to belief in only REAL marriage.

I’m surprised they lasted this long. They occupied a unique retailing and catalog niche for decades until Internet shopping brought competitors by the millions. There was no place on the Internet for a store that sells extremely overpriced merchandise and carried only a couple hundred items.

The last bastion for men in the female-oriented malls. Thank heavens for my Kindle and a good ebook.
