| | | History: | Farrey’s was established in 1924 on Miami Beach, FL as a small general store. Founded by John and Emily Farrey, the general store sold hardware, linens, lights, china, fishing gear and other essential home products. John and Emily’s son, Francis, joined the family business and faced many challenges, from hurricanes and fires, to riots. It was during the 1950s that Francis focused the company on lighting and bathroom fixtures. In the early 1960s the third generation joined the family business. Bud Farrey (Chairman and President) and Frank Farrey (Senior Vice President and Treasurer) have continued to develop the business during the last three decades, remaining flexible to change and adapt with the times. In 1980, the company suffered extensive fire damage as a result of a civil disturbance. In only 35 days, the Farreys were able to reopen in a new location while keeping all 100 employees on payroll. Paige Farrey (Marketing Director) and Kevin Farrey (Director of Internet Sales) represent the fourth generation in the business. | | | Principals: | Bud Farrey, Chairman and President
