Pottery Barn

Pottery Barn is an American-based chain of home furnishing stores with stores in the United States and Canada. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Williams-Sonoma, Inc.

The company, headquartered in San Francisco, California, currently operates 200 retail stores in the United States and Canada under its main brand, as well as an ecommerce site at www.potterybarn.com. Pottery Barn also operates several brand-concept specialty retailers under the Pottery Barn Bed + Bath, Pottery Barn Kids, PBteen and Threads.

In 2008 the company opened a store at Plaza Las Americas in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, a district of the capital San Juan. Plaza Las Americas is the first American-style shopping mall in Puerto Rico, as well as the largest such retail center in the Caribbean and one of the largest in the southeastern United States.

The Pottery Barn was founded by Paul Secon.
