CSN Stores LLC, a Top 3 U.S. online retailer of home furnishings and housewares with 200+ specialty sites, has expanded into the United Kingdom with CookwareEssentials.co.uk and CSNLighting.co.uk and Germany with Kuecheundhaushalt.de, their first three transactional sites to service shoppers beyond the U.S. and Canada.

With additional niche sites set to debut in the coming months, CSN Stores plans to continue its expansion into the U.K and Germany throughout ’09 and beyond. Through CookwareEssentials.co.uk, CSNLighting.co.uk, and Kuecheundhaushalt.de, CSN introduces consumers in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Germany to a new brand of convenient, hassle-free online shopping complete with innovative browsing software and well-trained customer service representatives -- defining hallmarks of a CSN Store.

On CookwareEssentials.co.uk, CSNLighting.co.uk, and Kuecheundhaushalt.de U.K. and German shoppers will find well-known brands, including LeCreuset, Meyer, Mauviel, Elstead Lighting, Endon Lighting, and Astro Lighting and a breadth of kitchen and home essentials, from cutlery to cutting boards, dutch ovens to oven mitts, ceiling fixtures to chandeliers, and fluorescent to floor lighting. With advanced navigation capabilities, Cookware Essentials and CSN Lighting shoppers can search via manufacturer, material, model, and more, all to make the shopping experience easier than it is on many other U.K. and European sites.
