Hello and welcome to another episode of Winners Only Club- the #1 podcast in the Hamptons and beyond. I’m your host LuLu and today we have the pleasure to chat with Henry Hildreth III. About Henry: Have you ever wondered what is America’s oldest department store and what it’s like to run one? The family legacy of Henry Hildreth III dates back to 1635 when his family arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts. They were told by the King of England to raise kettle but the coastline was too rocky, so they eventually made their way to the Hamptons after Great South Bay and a stop in the Virginias. The store, eponymously named, Hildreth’s, started in 1842 selling things like buffalo ropes, whaling harpoons, buggy whips and things of that store. The conversation with "Humble" Henry disproves the “born with a silver spoon” stereotype. Boys and girls. Ladies and germs, please help me welcome Henry, or friends like to call him Hank. Everyone, welcome Henry.00:32 introduction1:50 Filming this during store hours2:40 Being a generational owner3:10 graduated from Southampton High School3:47 a piece of furniture from 1969 in the warehouse4:18 starting full-time in 19784:40 the “secret”: the cut5:17 kneeboarding6:10 challenge of running a family business6:34 wife and daughter: President and VP7:35 where do you source your products?8:20 beach vibe~9:59 did you have a mentor?10:15 gentlemen: father and grandfather tipped their hats10:51 taking over the family business11:33 wife taking care of the kids back then, and taking charge now13:15 selling Hildreth in East Hampton13:53 definition of winner14:43 definition of loser15:57 closing remarks16:45 wrap-up Comedy bit at Hildreth's: click hereHildreth's Home Goods:51 Main St, Southampton, NY 11968, United States(631) 283-2300
