What touchGOODS does

touchGOODS is a privately held specialty home goods retailer founded in 2013 and headquartered in Southold, New York. The company operates a flagship retail store in Southold (open seven days a week) and a weekend-only outpost in Jamesport, both on the North Fork of Long Island, alongside a nationwide e-commerce storefront. Its assortment spans furniture, indoor and outdoor lighting, housewares, table linens, decor, outdoor living, baby and kids, and adjacent categories such as bath, bedding, small appliances, and stationery.

The product mix is anchored by curated brand partnerships with design-forward vendors, including handcrafted Italian lighting from Il Fanale Lighting and Ferroluce Lighting, contemporary furniture from Gus* Modern and Ethnicraft, and outdoor furniture from Sika Design USA. Pricing spans from low-priced accessories (~$4-$35) to high-ticket furniture and lighting ($1,650-$7,450), with seasonal clearance events offering up to 50% off. Marketing is executed through organic social (Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest), email newsletter, and a blog, with seasonal themes around outdoor entertaining and summer holidays.

Revenue is generated exclusively through direct-to-consumer retail product sales, both in-store and online, at unit-based fixed retail prices with seasonal promotions. The company employs 1-10 people, is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, and operates as a small, founder-led specialty retailer addressing a noted gap in contemporary furniture and lighting access within its North Fork trade area while shipping nationwide online.
