Tavakol attributes his success to the high quality and affordable price point of the products, as well as the growing popularity of off-price retailers in the current economy.
Tavakol is confident that the Oster kitchen gadgets will continue to be a success. He encourages his colleagues to try selling them to their off-price customers.
“We’re expecting more orders on these items from Boscov’s and even more from TJ Maxx,” Tavakol said.
“Across the board, every piece is moving tremendously. The wood, the stainless steel handles, the can opener, the pizza cutter... everything!”
