At E. Frances, we talk a lot about spreading love, but the truth is—we learned how to do that from the very best.
Meet Elizabeth (Lib) and Frances (Frankie), the grandmothers behind the E. Frances name, our heart, and most of our good ideas. In this photo, you’ll see Lib at the beach with our grandfather, Carmen. When they weren’t lounging on the sand, they were elbow-deep restoring a beautiful old building called the Weiting Theatre in upstate New York. They poured so much love into that place, and when we were little, Jenni and I had the dream job—working the popcorn machine during movies. (We took our responsibilities very seriously. Quality control meant lots of sampling.)
E. Frances is so much more than a name to us. It’s a nod to the women who showed us how to live with creativity, kindness, and a little sprinkle of fun. Here’s to squeezing the most out of every moment, every note, and every sip.
