History
In 1863, John A. Frye opened the doors to the very first Frye shop on Elm Street in Marlboro, Massachusetts.[citation needed]
In the 1890s, Marlboro manufactured more shoes than any other city in the U.S. During that time, Frye was one of the largest and most successful footwear companies in the entire country.[citation needed]
During the 1960s Frye made custom boots for a number of well-known people including Jackie Kennedy, Bing Crosby, Jerry Lewis, Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Ann-Margret, Walt Frazier, Laurel & Hardy, Candice Bergen, Liza Minnelli, Carole King, Gene Autry, even President Nixon.[citation needed]
The Sixties also saw the birth of the Frye Harness Boot. Inspired by cavalry soldiers in the Civil War.[citation needed]
Stores
The Frye Company opened its first retail store in New York City’s SoHo district in 2011. In 2013, Frye added three additional stores in Boston, Georgetown and Chicago.[citation needed]
Frye continues to expand its retail footprint in 2015 with the opening of four more stores at Ponce City Market in Atlanta; Roosevelt Field in Long Island, New York; NorthPark Center in Dallas; and Tysons Corner in Fairfax County, Virginia.[citation needed]
