Harry & David Outlet Malls

About Harry & David

It’s hard to pinpoint the exact moment that Harry & David became the company that it is known as today. One could say it all began in 1914 when brothers Harry and David took over their family’s orchard business following their father’s death. From there, the path the business took was to be a rocky road and not always one they had control over.

The brothers both studied agriculture at Cornell University and specialized their business around the Comice pear, renaming the one they provided to customers as “Royal Riviera.” This alone boosted their business as they sold to the finest hotels and restaurants of Europe until the Great Depression hit. In order to save the business, the brothers began mail order, and the rest is history. Although the modern day variety of selections you find when you shop Harry & David is much broader than just pears, the quality remains with the same high standards.
