Sur La Table looks to expand brand

New York City Sur La Table, a Seattle-based seller of kitchen gadgets, will accelerate its store openings after a bit of a breather last year, the Seattle Times reported.

The retailer announced Wednesday it plans to end 2010 with seven more stores than it had in 2009, for a total of 82 locations nationwide.

Sur La Table has already opened a store in King of Prussia, Pa., and expects to open the remaining six later this year, with locations in the Boston area; Troy, Mich.; New York City; South Florida; and Houston. It also will relocate two stores.
