Art.com Inc. to Expand West Coast Framing Facility

Leading Online Retailer of Wall Decor Upgrades Facilities to Meet
Increasing Consumer Demand
SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
Art.com Inc., a leading authority in wall decor and the world's
largest online retailer of posters, prints and framed art, today
announced that the company will move its West Coast framing operations
headquarters from Oakland, CA, to an expanded, 48,000 square-foot
facility in Hayward, CA. The move south will enable Art.com Inc. to
significantly increase its production capacity, better service
customers' custom-framing and mounting needs and enhance conditions
for employees.

"With the continued rapid growth that Art.com Inc. has experienced
in the past several years, this is a natural progression for us," said
Geoffroy Martin, chief operating officer, Art.com Inc. "Our framing
services have become so popular with our customers that we needed to
expand our production facility in order to continue to provide them
with the exemplary service they expect."

Art.com Inc. is committed to handcrafting the highest-quality
framed products and its custom framers are certified craftsmen with
many years of experience. All 51 employees at the Oakland location
will continue their employment with Art.com Inc. and will benefit from
the enhanced facility, including more convenient parking and upgraded
break rooms. The larger space will also allow the company to continue
to hire locally in order to keep pace with increasing customer demand.

"All Art.com Inc. services will be available during the move,"
said Martin. "There will be no interruption of service, and our
customers will be unaffected by the logistics of our expansion. We
always guarantee that Art.com Inc. offers high quality wall decor
products with the lowest custom-framing prices, and this will not
change as a result of our move."

In addition to its West Coast operations, Art.com Inc. has framing
facilities in Ohio and Europe. Art.com Inc. expects the new West Coast
facility in Hayward to be fully functional by September 2008.
