Free People Clothing Boutique, frequently called Free People, was founded in the early 1970’s by Dick Hayne and his wife Judy. Hayne wanted a store where people could purchase less than traditional clothing. Today, most people refer to this style of clothing as “bohemian”. The company was quite successful, especially with the younger generation. After opening a second location, Hayne decided to change the name to Urban Outfitters.
Urban Outfitters was very successful. Hayne again decided to make a change and open a subsidiary, which he renamed Free People. The Free People Clothing Boutique opened its “first” location in 2002 in Paramus, New Jersey. Today, Free People has m,ore than 81 locations in the US, along with 2 additional locations in Canada.
The company recently opened its own app where people can not only purchase their clothing directly via the app, but they can upload photos of themselves wearing Free People clothing.
