Talk about a SF startup from 50 years ago. Williams-Sonoma is still one of my favorite food retailers. Everything from sous vide to Hario coffee cone drippers, it has really made life much more delicious for me. With a market cap of $5.6B, it makes you wonder if the other SF startups are valued at the right price, considering the enduring legacy of Williams-Sonoma even if it is retail (albeit curated).


Williams? So...no moa? RIP
