General Info

For many years Tai Pan operated an elaborate showroom that was designed to service the smaller customer such as interior designers who the company couldn't cost effectively send a sales person out to call on. This smaller customer, although still buying for resale, became the best part of Tai Pan's business in that the volume was high, the margin was high, and most was on a cash basis. It became obvious to Tai Pan that the greatest future opportunity was to sell wholesale directly to the public, somewhat in the pattern of Costco. In the year 2005, Tai Pan became known as Tai Pan Trading Wholesale Home Décor when it opened its first retail store in a 100,000 sq. ft. facility located in Sandy, Utah. Tai Pan's presentation was a highly merchandised approach with a superstore level of variety, and an ambiance and charm of a small boutique. The wholesale to the public concept has gone over very well and subsequently, Tai Pan has opened two more stores. One store is located in Clearfield, Utah and opened in 2006, the other located in St. George, Utah, opened in the fall of 2007. Tai Pan currently has plans to expand into many other markets.
