San Francisco-based Williams-Sonoma Inc., the 55-year-old high-end kitchen and housewares supply company, has finally caved to the pressure of the interwebs. CMO Patrick Connoly announced its e-commerce will go live in more than 75 countries by the end of June. Booming web sales are saving Williams Sonoma—long considered a catalog company—from financial slump. Naturally, the recovery increases chances that WS could be bought out by some of the big boys, like Amazon or EBay. [Chron]
