![]() Where do you see the company going in five years? ![]() Everything is well organized so you don’t have to wade through tons of styles and piles of clothes, plus we try to have a youthful, friendly staff to help you out if you need it! Also, we’ll carry just a few of one style, so you won’t see it on every girl out on the weekend! Also a plus: we get new things in weekly! Many of our customers like to shop at Figleaf because of its smaller, more intimate and friendly environment, as well as for our low price points and great styles. ![]() What makes Figleaf unique compared to other boutiques, or even compared to retail stores in popular shopping places (such as the mall, online, etc.)? We sell basic cotton items, denim, casual and dressier dresses and tops, as well as shoes, jewelry and other accessories. What kind of clothing does Figleaf sell? Who is the target customer?įigleaf primarily targets the college girl’s lifestyle, with overlap into the high school market, as well as young professional women who may have recently entered their professional careers, or who are just young at heart! We try our best to bring in the very latest trends at an affordable price so our customers can afford to look great! Our products range from $4 to $80. Kent, OH 44240): Close to Kent State University! There really weren’t any clothing boutiques to shop at in Kent for the college girls or local community, plus Ron Burbick renovated a beautiful space in downtown Kent just for Figleaf! I really like the small town feel with the close proximity to the greater Cleveland area! Plus, with the fashion school at Kent, I knew there would be lots of girls into clothes! We are not far from Duquesne, Pitt, Art Institute and Carnegie Mellon, to name just a few colleges in Pittsburgh, so Figleaf attracts both college girls as well as young working profession women who live in or visit Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, PA 15203): I wanted to try Figleaf in a bigger market, and Pittsburgh seemed like the ideal place to do that! We are located on the hip Southside next to lots of bars, restaurants, dance clubs and music venues and a few boutiques. Morgantown (491B High St Morgantown, WV 26505): I chose Morgantown near WVU because I knew that the demographic was similar to Athens small town with lots of college girls who love fashion! Athens, having the Ohio University campus, was the perfect spot to raise my son, be close to family and also to start Figleaf! The college girl is Figleaf’s main customer! I wanted to move back to the Midwest to raise my son. ![]() Athens, OH 45701): I grew up in Athens, graduated from Ohio University with a BFA in studio arts, and then moved to New York City for 4 years. I currently have 4 locations: Athens, Morgantown, Pittsburgh and Kent.Īthens (57 N. How many locations does Figleaf have? Is there any specific reason these locations were chosen? I opened the first Figleaf in the fall of 1995 near the Ohio University campus in Athens, Ohio. How and when did you get involved with Figleaf? When was the company founded? She was kind enough to answer a few questions via email about Figleaf Kent and its other three locations in and surrounding Northeast Ohio. While speaking with the store’s owner, Lynne Francisco, it is easy to see that she has a real vision for the future of Figleaf. Its colorful organization and moody lighting are sure to lure in the trendiest shoppers. Filled with the latest trends in clothing, jewelry and footwear, the downtown boutique has quite the uptown ambiance. This may just be the proper temp they feel beer should be served at and I am wrong.Located in the heart of downtown Kent, adjacent to the newly constructed Acorn Alley, sits Figleaf, a small shop with a big vision. Its still kind of bitter for my milk-toast tastes, but, everytime it seems to be served too warm for my liking. Not complaining just letting you know the layout.įinally, I have been here a few times before and get the wimpiest most American-style beer they offer. The inside has a shop like atmosphere somits not a sports bar/tavern/pub decor. But really, the pizza is just a way to keep you here longer, spend money inside the shop and probably buy more beer. They would be better of serving DiGorno frozzen pizzas than they frozen pizza they throw out. ![]() If you are, this might be a wonderful place for you. I am not into the pricey, bitter, snobbery that is the current microwbrew fad. The Figleaf just recently started offering pizza, I assume to capture some of the cash that was going to the food trucks they allowed to park in front. ![]()
