Hilton House Named Orinda Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year

By Laurie Snyder

Contra County Supervisor Candace Andersen (right) lauded Cyndi Hilton, owner of the 2013 Orinda Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year on March 26.

"A lot of people like the idea of recycling upscale, name brand items," said Cyndi Hilton upon accepting the Orinda Chamber of Commerce 2013 Small Business of the Year Award on behalf of Hilton House Consign & Design prior to Orinda mayor Sue Severson's State of the City Address March 26. Presented by chamber president Sylvia Jorgensen, the business was recognized for quickly filling a niche after its 2000 opening as avid remodelers and downsizing homeowners freed their homes of items that were, in turn, snapped up by new Lamorindans, collectors and designers from the Bay Area and beyond. She soon began selling everything from armoires to china, expanding the store just five years later to include fine jewelry - now her top selling specialty area.

Hilton was also honored with a proclamation, personally presented by Contra Costa County Supervisor Candace Andersen, and was applauded warmly by the crowd of Rotarians, business leaders and fellow Orindans in attendance. A former Internet business owner and 37-year resident of Orinda, Hilton launched the business when she couldn't find a place to recycle Waterford crystal pieces she no longer used, but didn't want to see go to waste. Open from Monday to Saturday at 21 Orinda Way, the store has become a favorite of collectors, as well as hunters of unique gifts.
