History
Living Direct, previously known as Richlund Ventures, was founded in 1999 by entrepreneur Rick Lundbom, who decided to implement his knowledge and previous experience to bring to the market hard-to-find appliances for modern, small-space living. The company started in his home with no outside investors and Lundbom as the sole employee.
He began by launching Living Direct's first retail website, CompactAppliance.com. It was followed by PortableAirShop.com in 2004 and HotWaterSource.com in 2007. In 2008, LivingDirect.com was launched. Since then, Kegerator.com, SimplyDehumidifiers.com, WineCoolerDirect.com, IceMakerDirect.com, AirPurifierPro.com, OpenBoxDirect.com and EdgeStar.com have been added to the Living Direct network. Today, Living Direct is a multimillion-dollar eCommerce enterprise consistently ranked in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide of America's largest e-retailers, as well as a member of the Better Business Bureau.
Entrepreneur Magazine selected Living Direct as a 2007 Hot 500 Fastest Growing Business. In 2008, Living Direct was listed in Inc.com's "5,000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in America," which determines ranking based on revenue growth.
