About Jenny K.
|
J
en Komaromi started Jenny K. with the intent of bringing small manufacturers
into the mainstream. Ms. Komaromi was raised in a family business. When growing
up, she witnessed first hand the challenges that all small businesses face. With
the rise of many large retailers causing the death of small retailers across the
country she felt it was necessary to speak out about the importance of supporting
small businesses.
T
he Gift Industry is unique in that there are very few ‘major’ players that
dominate the market. This is due in great part to the fact that people love
finding gifts that are unique, whimsical and fun. Ms. Komaromi has been working
in the Gift Industry since 1997. She started working as an independent sales
representative in 2000. Along the way she was given an opportunity to have a
website built by students at San Francisco State University. The site created for
her was designed with the retailer as its target. However, instead of retailers,
she began getting emails daily from consumers wanting to purchase her products.
J
en and her wonderful husband Kevin soon began work to change the site into a
retail e-business. The site has gone through many transformations as Jen's internet business has grown. We are constantly working to add more products that better serve the needs of our customers.
I
n an attempt to spread the gospel of supporting small business, you will find a
growing number of products made by small manufacturers or artisans. By supporting
Jenny K. you are enabling a chain of small businesses to survive. Many of the
products represented here are made in California. If you live in California you may
be very familiar with the brands we offer. Jenny K. also offers products that you wouldn't find at your average gift store, instead she bends the rules and buys products that would normally be seen in high end galleries. For instance, one of her favorites is Fire & Light Glass. Made from recycled glass, this elegant glassware is sure to add beauty everyday. She is proud to offer this unique line. Online we have a limited selection, however, please visit our store to see our selection of platters, bowls and dinnerware settings.
