Bobby & Co.
Bobby & Co. was a provincial department store group based mainly in seaside towns on the south coast of England. The business operated from 1887 until 1972.
==Early history==
In 1887, Frederick James Bobby (1860-1941) bought an established drapery store in Margate, Kent, located on the corner of High Street and Queen Street.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bobbys stores part of a golden age of shopping )〕 The business grew to incorporate several neighbouring premises. In 1900, the business was incorporated and an expansion programme was begun, opening stores in specially selected towns, mostly seaside resorts. Stores were opened in Leamington Spa, Folkestone, Eastbourne, Torquay, Cliftonville, Bournemouth, Exeter (formerly Green & Son, acquired 1922) and Southport.
In the 1920s the business employed the artist F Gregory Brown〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Furnishing. Bobby & Co., Ltd. )〕 to design a number of advertisement posters, which were printed by Bobby's own print shop and displayed in railway stations. Brown was also employed, at the same time, by Kensington department store Derry & Toms.
