About CSC Generation

CSC Generation specializes in acquiring and revitalizing struggling retail brands to make them profitable. The company identifies underperforming brands with potential and integrates them into its operating platform, which includes technology, skilled personnel, and efficient processes. This approach has allowed CSC Generation to successfully transform several well-known brands, such as DirectBuy and Sur La Table, into profitable ventures. The company generates revenue through the sales of products from its portfolio, which features over 325,000 items and attracts around 10 million monthly page views. Unlike many competitors, CSC Generation focuses on "unsexy" opportunities—brands that others might overlook but have significant turnaround potential. The goal of CSC Generation is to drive growth and profitability for the brands it acquires, ultimately enhancing the customer experience and increasing sales.
