- Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA (1888PressRelease) May 21, 2011 - Today, ATGStores.com announced their plans to hire 150 employees at its Kirkland, WA headquarters in the 2011 year due to its rapid sales growth. ATGStores is coming upon its 12-year anniversary in July, and the company has had 12 years of continuous growth since its' founding in 2000.

Year-to-date sales have skyrocketed nearly 60% compared to the same period in 2010 and the company continues to have record-breaking months in sales.
