Describe Yourself:
Bare Necessities is a New Jersey-based retailer of brand name and designer lingerie, hosiery and men's underwear. Bare Necessities owns and operates four retail stores, and an electronic commerce website, www.BareNecessities.com. The website was founded in 1998 by Noah Wrubel and Bill Richardson.
Bare Necessities owes its roots to beginnings on Orchard Street on New York City's Lower East Side in the 1960's. Wrubel's uncle, Norman Goldman, was co-owner of a lingerie store, Goldman and Cohen, and Wrubel's father, Irwin, owned a shop across the street. Goldman and Wrubel founded Corset Shop Inc., which operates 135 leased intimate apparel departments in stores throughout the United States, and Bare Necessities, in 1967.
In 2006, Bare Necessities was named as the country's 10th fastest growing inner city company by Inc. Magazine and the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City. Bare Necessities is also listed by the The Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide as the 60th largest apparel website.
The company's headquarters is located in Newark, NJ, and in 2005 it opened a new distribution center in Avenel, NJ.
