Lehmans.com Named to Newsweek’s “America’s Best Online Shops 2024” List

Kidron, OH – October 27, 2023: Lehman’s (Lehmans.com) is pleased to be named to Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Online Shops 2024.   Their web site, Lehmans.com, helps customers take the next step on their journey to a simpler life with practical products, how-to blogs and videos, and an interactive social media experience. 

Lehman’s was founded in 1955 by Jay Lehman to serve the local Amish, who live without electricity. Today Lehman’s ships practical, non-electric products like oil lamps, wood stoves and water pumps, all over the country. They also have a retail store, on the square in Kidron, OH, that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

“We are very proud to be a recipient of one of Newsweek's best online shops for 2024,” said Zach Coblentz, president.  “We have made some significant changes to our business over the last 12 months to improve the customer experience. This award is further confirmation that we have improved the experience our customers are receiving.  We are committed to continue to focus on meeting our customers’ needs in the products and services we provide.”

Lehman’s ranked eighth out of 23 in the "General" category - beating out Vermont Country Store, Kohl's, Target, Macy's, and even Amazon.

“The irony of winning this award is that we use high tech to sell low tech,” Coblentz continued, noting the number of products they sell online that are non-electric, such as the sun-powered dehydrator or the people-powered push mower. “It is no small task for a small family-owned company to compete with large publicly-held companies.  At Lehman's, we're a team that works creatively together in order to bring traditional products to our customers' simple life.”

 This prestigious award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list was announced on October 11^th, 2023, and can currently be viewed on Newsweek’s website.

America’s Best Online Shops 2024 were identified after passing a number of tests based on 46 objective and subjective criteria. The online shops with the most American visitors and the highest American revenue in 2022 were selected as candidates for further evaluation. The online shops that passed the initial screening were then tested one by one in via a nationwide survey of over 6,000 American online shoppers. Survey participants were asked to evaluate online shops on Trust & Security, Structure & Usability, Payment, Purchase & Delivery, Service & Communication, Technical Details, Likelihood of Purchase, and Traffic Growth. Out of the thousands of online retailers we evaluated, the top 1,000 have been awarded in 8 industries and 39 different categories.



 Lehman’s retail store is located at 4779 Kidron Road, Kidron, OH and is open every day except Sunday – and always open at Lehmans.com.
