Kathleen Doxer’s Wiki

Kathleen Doxer is a breast cancer survivor. She grew up with his brother and sister. She lost her brother to pancreatic cancer at 59. Besides being a mother of four, she is also a grandmother.

She has been passionate about interior design and studied advertising design in college, so she chose it as her career. The Doxers entered the retail industry as Aries Fashions, a small chain of fashion boutiques in the 1970s.

When that business shut down, they had a warehouse full of excess merchandise. Then, Kathleen founded the Frugal Fannie’s Fashion Warehouse, an online fashion retailer, with her husband, Orrin Doxer, in 1983.

There is an interesting story behind their brand name. They got the idea of Frugal Annie’s name while driving in Maine and talking about its frugal life. Fannie is made up of frugal and Orrin’s mother’s name, Annie.

Kathleen is creative, so she served as the vice president of communications, and her husband served as the president and CEO. The couple started the business as a weekend-only business in Westwood. They later expanded it to Reading, Farmingham, and Brighton.

She even appears in the commericals of her brand. There was a time when she would prop the TV shoots but not appear in the ads. Surviving breast cancer gave her the courage to appear in radio and TV ads.

They grew the business to 9 stores and planned to open their 10th in Prince William County. Still, they were forced to file bankruptcy due to competition, a shaky economy, and war worries in 2002.

They had to close five stores; only four remained open, with 90 out of 225 employees. Later, those four stores in the Massachusetts area were also closed because of a lack of funds from investors and banks.

Doxers reponed the Westwood store in 2003, which would be run by Retail Therapy, LLC, and they would not have an equity stake in the business. By the way, Retail Therapy was founded by Kathleen’s husband, Orrin. They technically own the company.
