History
In 1970, former Lehigh University roommates and later University of Pennsylvania Wharton Business School classmates Richard Hayne and Scott Belair needed a project for an entrepreneurial class. They decided to open a retail store called Free People.[4] According to some sources, Hayne's ex-wife Judy Wicks co-founded the company with him.[5]
