In 1930, during the Great Depression, H. L. Geary boldly launched his brick-front general store, offering a wide range of products from cosmetics to hardware. Gearys Beverly Hills not only weathered those early years but grew to become a symbol of luxury retail, providing an unmatched selection of luxury goods—from fine jewelry to home items from renowned brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Baccarat, Hermès, Christofle, and Bernardaud—alongside top-tier customer service that has stood strong for over 90 years.
Over the past 15 years, Thomas J. Blumenthal has steered Gearys Beverly Hills as President and CEO, taking the iconic brand to new levels. He is a respected figure in luxury curation and a prominent speaker on luxury industry history and trends.
Recently, Blumenthal appeared on the Small Business Show podcast to talk about navigating the brand through the challenges of the Coronavirus pandemic and adjusting to evolving customer behaviors and preferences.
