"Because we have just launched the store it currently carries a couple thousand products, but it will grow steadily as more small businesses join our ranks," said Overstock.com Chairman and CEO Patrick Byrne. "The Main Street Store creates a national marketing and distribution channel for small businesses by providing them a way to sell their products easily and inexpensively. It is also a place where consumers can contribute to the national recovery by buying products made by entrepreneurs throughout the U.S. It's the new way to shop local."
