JP Ecommerce Inc. (dba Bare Home) | Forest Lake/Columbus, Minnesota | 100% On-Site

About Us

JP Ecommerce has been named one of the top-ten fastest-growing businesses in Minnesota by Inc. 5000 for FOUR consecutive years! We provide customers with high-quality bedding through our brand Bare Home. As a leading textile retail company, we source premium products from key regions including China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey, and we manufacture our cotton line right here in the USA.

We’re experiencing 20–30% year-over-year growth and expanding our warehouse operations from 110,000 to 220,000+ square feet.
