Mecox
Mecox is a collection of eight emporiums selling a variety of antiques, indoor and outdoor furniture, home decor, garden ornaments and accessories. They are known for a large selection of unusual antiques, and an eponymous label of home furnishings both online and in-store. The flagship emporium opened in the village of Southampton, New York on Long Island in the spring of 1996. It sits on three acres of property, previously inhabited by a local garden center. The Southampton store is unique for its extensive garden area filled with outdoor furnishings, plants, and garden ornaments. In addition to Southampton, there are now Mecox stores in East Hampton, Manhattan, West Palm Beach, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Houston.
== History ==
Mecox was founded in 1996 by William McDowell Hoak (or Mac Hoak) after a seven year career at Morgan Stanley and ten years of experience in corporate commercial real estate. He cites his passion for antiques, design, and fine furniture as the motivation behind combining his business knowledge and avocation to open the first Mecox location. The name Mecox originates with the Shinnecock Indians. The Shinnecock Indians had a small settlement they called Mecox, meaning flat or plain country, in what is now Southampton. In 1640, eight settlers including Edward Howell came to Long Island from Boston. Howell built a mill along the Mecox Bay—the bay for which the furniture store was named.
In the years following 1996, Mecox expanded to open their seven subsequent locations across the country. The New York City location, located on Lexington Avenue on Manhattan's Upper East Side began as a pop-up store and became a permanent location soon after. Subsequently, each of the six other Mecox furniture emporiums opened.
