SHARPER IMAGE

Founded in 1977 by Richard Thalheimer, The Sharper Image began as a catalog from which people ordered sports watches. Expanding its product range and eventually becoming a nationwide retail business, the company now offers a large selection of consumer electronics, toys, games, furniture, garden ware, kitchenware, beauty and grooming products, luggage, auto accessories, and gifts.

The company declared bankruptcy and was purchased by a number of businesses from 2009 – 2016, culminating in the ThreeSixty Group in 2016. The company is based in Farmington Hills, Michigan, USA.
