About Williams-Sonoma
From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
Williams-Sonoma is based in San Francisco, California and is incorporated in Delaware. Its shares trade on NYSE under the ticker WSM. It is a member of the S&P 500. The SEC classifies its business as retail-home furniture, furnishings & equipment stores. In the fiscal year to 1 February 2026, it reported revenue of $7.81bn and net income of $1.09bn. At that date it held total assets of $5.41bn and shareholders' equity of $2.08bn.
Williams-Sonoma, Inc., (the “Company”, “we”, or “us”) incorporated in 1973, is an omni-channel specialty retailer of high-quality products for the home.
In 1956, our founder, Chuck Williams, turned a passion for cooking and eating with friends into a small business with a big idea. He opened a store in Sonoma, California to sell the French cookware that intrigued him while visiting Europe but that could not be found in America. Chuck’s business, which set a standard for customer service, took off and helped fuel a revolution in American cooking and entertaining that continues today.
In the decades that followed, our commitment to product quality, our ability to identify new market opportunities and our people-first business approach have driven our expansion beyond the kitchen into nearly every area of the home, as well as the places where our customers work, stay and play. Our in-house design capabilities and vertically integrated sourcing organization allow us to deliver high-quality, lasting products at competitive prices. Through our e-commerce platform, our in-house marketing and data analytics teams optimize our digital spend and customer connections. We have expanded our in-store services to not only provide world-class customer service but to also serve as design centers and omni-fulfillment hubs.
