Frenchy's used clothing store

Sorry! That was never one of my ambitions. Besides which,I still am wearing most of my used clothes

Hey, Frenchy's even known in South Louisiana since there is so much inter connection between the SW of Nova Scotia (Frenchie lives in Clare, NS) with the First Frenchy's Store in Metaghan!

My Wife and Daughters clean him out on every visit, one of their friends works in the sorting Warehouse in Yarmouth and they dress to the NINES! Cheap on me!

Secret of Frenchy's-BUYING USED CLOTHING FROM US FACTORY OVERRUNS!

There's been a Frenchy's on the corner of Ludlow here since before I moved to the area[20 years] and it has always done good business. in fact,most of the other businesses in the area have changed hands,gone under,etc., but Frenchy's keeps on . I've seen some well dressed ladies shopping in there,too.[the kind who can afford to buy retail at the high end stores!]

One aspect of the Frenchy's business that many people don't know about is that the clothing they get that is torn or stained and not saleable is turned into rags, and sold under the name "Acadian Wipers"....sold to a lot of garages etc.

I know there is a firm in the US, Arizona or New Mexico somewhere; what they do is buy unclaimed / lost luggage from airlines....I'm sure that the clothing is resold in bulk to the used clothing marketplace....

Yes, I moved to Ontario a year ago and I dearly miss my Frenchy's. I keep thinking how a similar business would do smashingly well in this area. What kind of information do you have on opening such a business? My email address is --

hello

I would like to know how to open a Frenchy's, any advice?

I think I would rather rummage in the Dollar Store for a new article of clothing than invest in something used.

Do you know how far Crabs can jump?

I know this thread is kind of old but like most here I am from the maritimes and my family is missing frenchy's bad!! So much in fact we are working on opening one in our area. Can you get in touch with me please?

Thanks!

I'd suggest contacting the chain directly. Many of the members who participated in this thread haven't been around for ages.

Good luck

I get halloween costumes from there...or use too...when i was little i use to get toys from there and dystroy them with rocks. There are a bunch of places like frenchys now...The first frenchys i went to was in Wolfville NS, I remember becaus ei was little and my older sister was looking for furniture of her dorm room....and yes i got a toy and dystroyed it

I would love to know how to go about starting up a store like Frenchy's, especially on who to contact for getting the clothing. I grew up on Frenchy's clothing, and where I live now in Alberta there is nothing here like that.

I think there is enough clothing already manufactured to cloth the world for decades to come...buying CRAP at a dollar store creates rubish...I hate dollar stores they sell rubish, then ...in a short time it all goes to the landfill...packaging and all...as a matter of fact, I feel the same about Wal Mart ...it sucks too! I buy at secondhand stores, pass on clothes I no longer wear and gladly acccept used clothing from others....I grew up doing this...I have 5 sisters so I didn't get a lot of NEW STUFF.....have never seen a crab....perhaps it's you the've jumped off of?
PS, I bought some mouthwash at a dollar store once...it was sooooo bad, I could have used it to get rid of crabs...go get some!

I was looking for info on how to get started in the used clothing business,there is a lot of used clothing vendors out there and it may be a big gamble not knowing what you are getting.Any help would be appreciated.
