Growing up in Edison, Ken Marowitz always knew that he’d carry on his family’s retail legacy, which was named after his grandfather Frank.
“In 1911, my grandfather opened a tailor shop in New Brunswick that also sold second-hand clothing and he and his family — including my father Hyman and his four siblings — lived above it,” said Marowitz, now a 52-year-old Monmouth Beach resident.
 “After my father and uncles served in World War II, they ran a mobile Army store that sold clothing to Army bases and then opened a bricks-and-mortar Army/Navy store in Highlands in the 1950s when Army bases started closing,” he said, noting that the store was later relocated to New Brunswick and ultimately morphed into a "big & tall" store in 1961.
“At that time, there were regular men’s clothing stores and Army/Navy stores on nearly every corner, but no one was operating a big & tall store, so they saw a void in the market,” Marowitz said.
According to Marowitz, business was good and his father opened a location of Frank’s Big & Tall Men’s Shop in Ocean Township in 1967; over the years, locations in East Brunswick (relocated from New Brunswick) and Morristown would follow.
