THE HISTORY OF FRANK’S BIG & TALL MEN’S STORE (since 1910)
Frank’s Big & Tall really started at the turn of the 20th century, approximately 1910, when our Grandfather Frank Marowitz, who had immigrated from the Ukraine region of the USSR, settled in with his wife Kate and opened shop in New Brunswick, New Jersey to provide for his young and growing family. Grandpa Frank did tailoring and also sold refurbished second hand clothing (the family lived above the store and the kids all helped out). He would uniquely tailor shirts and other clothing brought in by BIG & TALL men that could not find good fitting clothing off the shelf as he created quite a following. After they returned safely home from serving in the armed forces during World War II, three of his kids, Alex, Marty & Hy starting a Big & Tall specialty retail business aptly named, Frank’s Big & Tall.
INDUSTRY CHANGER
Hy was one of the founding fathers of the Big & Tall Men’s Buying Cooperative which enabled small retailers nationwide to pool their smaller orders of unique sizes and place orders with top name, quality manufacturers. Without this, the dramatic improvement in the clothing selection for big and tall guys would have never happened. For example, a small retailer couldn’t order 10 units of size 58 portly from Saint Laurent or the other famous makers, however, 500 stores ordering 10 units each could place an order of 5,000 suits as a group and have them made and delivered to their individual stores. This TOTALLY changed the industry!
Frank’s Big & Tall has always focused on a wide array of top quality clothing selection and free tailoring to help our customers look their best. You will get the attentive service passed down from our Grandfather and we listen to you when you explain to us what you’re looking for. We are not a national chain and you will get decades of expertise handed down through the generations of our family in getting you to look your best.
