NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 2021 - The schoolwear brand French Toast has been awarded an exclusive contract with New York City’s largest K-12 public charter school network, Success Academy, serving a diverse population of over 20,000 students for the 2022/2023 school year.
As an established schoolwear brand that’s primed to provide a pristine level of service to families, offering high-quality school uniforms at a great price, French Toast was well-positioned to be selected for this opportunity. Further, the brand has the business expertise including inventory management, and dashboards, and reporting to meet Success Academy’s unique administrative needs. As a result, French Toast will serve the uniform needs across 47 campuses, honing in on comfort, quality and value. A dedicated team at French Toast will work directly with Success Academy to ensure that all uniform requirements and customizations are met.
“We are honored to work with Success Academy, a school system that shares the same core values as French Toast,” said Stephen Ashear, President of French Toast and NYC native. “Through this collaboration, we are able to provide both business services to support Success Academy and affordable schoolwear that kids will want to wear to help them look and feel their best and is designed to last. Together we are committed to students, education, and the communities we serve,” he said.
Success Academy families will receive a tailored customer service experience including worry-free online shopping, a one-stop personalized shop, and bilingual agents. For the 2022/2023 back-to-school season, families can also look forward to a mobile “Fit Day” experience throughout the boroughs and a pop-up retail store, where they can touch, feel and try on uniforms.
“Success Academy families value quality and service as well as affordability,” said Eva Moskowitz, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Success Academy. “We are confident that French Toast will deliver all three.”
