About Brookstone

Brookstone is a nationwide specialty retailer founded in 1965 by Pierre de Beaumont and his wife Mary. The company offers a wide assortment of consumer products that are functional in purpose, distinctive in quality and design, and not widely available from other retailers. Their humble story began in 1965 when the founders introduced the company as a catalogue company in a small classified ad selling hard-to-find tools in Popular Mechanics Magazine.

The demand for one-of-a-kind products that the company is offering developed into a strong consumer demand-based system that led to a need for specific Brookstone retail stores. In 1972, the company opened their first store in New Hampshire and the rest, as they say, is history. Today, you can discover fun, surprising, and smart Brookstone products that can be used in unexpected ways. Their products are always marvelous and never ordinary, and make life just a bit more interesting. If it is fun, feels good, or is just plain cool, you'll find it here!
