FOUNDER & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
ROTHMANS

​

Ken Giddon is the co-owner of Rothmans, one of the largest independent menswear stores in the country. They have stores in NYC, Scarsdale and Bronxville, New York.  Ken came to NYC in 1986 to help close his grandfather’s store, but got the retail bug, and decided to forego MIT Business School and re-open the store.  This year they will celebrate 100 years in business.
