A student’s dorm room is truly their “home away from home” and making
it feel as comfortable as possible can help make the dorm experience
much more positive and productive. Generally, big box retailers only
focus on dorm product sales a few weeks a year, the website
www.DormCo.com has created a specialty niche that caters to dorm room
essentials all year round – more than 1,400 items to choose from. The
products are hand selected to be useful and necessary for dorm rooms
and student living: from twin XL bedding and bathroom accessories to
rugs and wall decorations; space savers and organizers to security
products and much more.
I spoke with DormCo CEO and Founder Jeff
Gawronski about when he realized there was a need for a dorm product
website. “I came up with the idea when my original invention, The Bed
Post Shelf, was first rejected by the big box retailers,” says
Gawronski. “Big box stores aren’t interested in carrying more than a
few basics for back to college”. He says mass retailers are focused
on making a fast sale on dorm products then getting out as fast as
possible to focus on the upcoming holiday season. “My mission with
DormCo.com was to take all the niche items like my Bed Post Shelf and
numerous other necessary products and put them into one complete, high
selection store specifically geared to dorm life essentials.”
