When Henry Leace opened the first Havana Shirt Store in 2001 in Bayside Marketplace, the Panama hats, cigar boxes and Cuban art were all meant as decorations.
Quickly, customers started trying to buy them.
That helped Leace realize he had an opportunity to sell more than just guayaberas and tropical sportswear. His new focus: creating a store and a private-label brand called Havana Nines that caters to the Latin lifestyle and has potential for national expansion. The goal is to have 55 stores by 2013.”*
