Company is now subject of more than a dozen lawsuits in San Diego and Orange counties
Pirch, the shuttered Carlsbad-based luxury retailer that operated about a half-dozen showrooms throughout Southern California until last month, is laying off 40 employees, according to Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notices filed this week with the state Employment Development Department. The company filed notices on April 4 for four locations. One is its showroom at Westfield UTC, with 23 layoffs. The others are in Mission Viejo and Laguna Niguel, with 17 layoffs among them.
In an email to Pirch's CEO, Steve Smith, and to its leadership team — shared with the San Diego Union-Tribune — Krupp wrote that he bought almost $50,000 appliances at the Costa Mesa store, which he said were never delivered. He was then stonewalled when he asked for a refund or information, he wrote. In Krupps' suit, Pirch is a co-defendant alongside its corporate parent, private equity company L. Catterton.
