Forth & Towne was a great test of a promising concept and an illustration of the innovative risks you need to take in our business. We made the tough decision to close the brand and focus our efforts on stabilizing the existing businesses.

Fort Franklin's ability to dig deep, focus and understand our business strategy helped guide our decision for an agency partner. Our companies are like-minded when it comes to our work and potential and we are anticipating a true partnership with fresh, creative and innovative collaboration.

Business is tough; you need tough guys.

We were looking at ourselves as a store rather than a brand. When you do that, you draw thick, heavy lines around your freedom.

Don't focus on the days when you failed. Focus on all of the days when you won. Keep a chart, monitor your successes, and don't give up!

We have an unwavering commitment to our social responsibility program; it's good for business, and we know it's the right thing to do.
