Title
Square Luggage
Description
It's definitely a family affair at Square Luggage. Mickey Piombo, owner, has involved his large family in various facets of the business. His wife, Fay, handles the accounting while his son, Albert, manages the repair department. Mickey's daughters, Judy, Lois, Donna and Patrice, are in sales. In-laws Tony, Chris, Sue and Juanita lend a hand where needed and grandsons Kennie, Kevin, Thomas and Albert Jr. are often seen in the stores.
In the 1930s, Mickey's uncle, Tom, became a principal in the original location, which faced the square-shaped Green in Morristown, thus the name Square Luggage. Mickey began his career as a salesman on the road who traveled a great deal. He thought that taking over the store would give him more quality time with his family and would lead to more opportunities for them. Since 1970, Mickey's determination and vision has allowed Square Luggage to expand to several locations, which include East Hanover and Morristown.
Square Luggage is a member of the American Luggage Dealers Association (A.L.D.A.) and Mickey is a board member. This group consists of more than 100 stores across the nation. This association enables them to buy in volume and, therefore, offer their customers a large selection at competitive prices. Mickey also has been involved in preparing the direct-mail catalog that is used by all the stores in the A.L.D.A.
