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 npkorol@hotmail.com

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