Short Hills Marble & Tile

What Short Hills Marble & Tile does

Short Hills Marble & Tile is a privately held, single-showroom luxury stone and tile retailer founded in 1994 and based at 658 Morris Turnpike in Short Hills, New Jersey. The company curates and sells natural stone, tile, mosaic, and waterjet products sourced from 18+ premium manufacturers (including Adex USA, Ann Sacks, Allison Eden, Nemo Tile, Cotto d'Este, Island Stone, Lunada Bay, and Stone Partnership), alongside proprietary collections such as Luxury Waterjet, Dreamhouse, Cleopatra, Wave, Apollo/Dante, and the USA-sourced Legacy of the Rockies line. The business serves three primary segments — homeowners undertaking renovations, interior designers specifying materials for client projects, and builders/contractors sourcing for luxury residential construction — through a showroom-based, design-consultative sales motion led by named showroom designers who produce detailed layout drawings and coordinate with installers.

The business model is one-time product sales on a quote-based pricing structure; there is no recurring revenue, subscription, or licensing component. Pricing is unit-based and varies by material, finish, size, and collection, with custom and special-order items requiring direct quote requests. Distribution is anchored in the physical showroom, supplemented by designer sample boxes shipped to remote clients, direct shipment to out-of-state contractors (e.g., Florida projects referenced in customer testimonials), and an active organic social presence (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest) plus a content blog driving top-of-funnel awareness. The company has 11–50 employees, is founder-owned (Robert Israeli), has no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed acquisitions or strategic transactions — consistent with a bootstrapped, lifestyle-scale boutique retailer rather than a venture-backed growth business.
