TheImportStoreOnline.com
is owned and operated by The Import
Store Warehouse in Fort Worth, Texas.
 FAMILY-OWNED
& OPERATED
Hi, my name is Matt Kirkham. I am the owner of The Import Store, TheImportStore.com and TheImportStoreOnline.com. We
are a third generation retailer. My dad, Dan Kirkham, started this business
in 1984, and taught me the ropes, based on his 40-year retail career. My son 8 year old Joe Kirkham is the little guy who helped me understand how fun Webkinz are. He is also earning extra allowance by working with me in packing Webkinz orders. He has also helped with insite such as "Put them in the box gently daddy. They are Webkinz" and "We better not get it wrong or there will be a sad kid somewhere".
The
Import Store philosophy is to buy stuff people like at hard-to-believe prices
and keep inventory turning. As an independent in a sea of national chains, we
succeed by placing the highest value on personal service, hiring a great staff,
and treating customers right.
NO MORE MALLS
You know, we’re just
not the mall type. We tried it, we did well, but frankly, the Import Store is
just a little too quirky for the mall. Besides, the astronomical rent put a
damper on our desire to offer great prices.
No more! In 1995 we got
our own place in the old Mapsco building near the corner of Henderson and Lancaster
in Fort Worth. We filled the store with thousands of wholesale samples, made
them available directly to the public, left the original price tags on, and
never looked back!
In 1999, the City of Fort
Worth thought our spot would make a better freeway improvement project than
retail store. We packed up, built a 10,000 square foot store a few blocks away
at 915 West Belknap, and moved in, clock, stock and chiminea!
