HISTORICAL FAMILY / PRINCIPAL EXPERIENCE

FAMILY HISTORY

Apparel experience carried forward.

The timeline traces the founding family's apparel experience. The Mayflower today is a separate operating company built on that background.

1993–1995

A side business becomes the beginning.

In 1993, Amr Hamdy entered the apparel trade on the side, supplying small quantities of merchandise to local stores and developing early product and market relationships.

1995–1999

A New York sourcing operation takes shape.

The activity developed into a sourcing office based in the Empire State Building, supporting product development, sourcing and commercial apparel programs.

1999

A storefront opens in Sunset Park.

A storefront opened on 5th Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, between 59th and 60th Streets, adding direct retail perspective while the sourcing and wholesale side continued to grow.

A NEW YORK TRANSITION

From Midtown sourcing to Brooklyn retail.

The historical sourcing office operated from the Empire State Building before the family operation added a storefront presence in Sunset Park.
