| KEN RABIN (Proprietor) Contact: krabin@morrys.com Ken Rabin is the rock behind Morry’s of Naples. Ken has had an interesting and varied life and holds degrees in Political Science and History. It's this love of history and his nostalgia for the past brought him back to continue the Morry’s tradition. Creating an updated 21st Century Morry’s has been a wonderfully challenging venture, and Ken has been the backbone behind it all. Ken and his wife Minna are grooming the fourth Morry’ s generation and tradition with their three sons, Markus, Johan, and Henrik. |
ANNIE RABIN (CFO / Managing Buyer)
Contact: arabin@morrys.com
Annie Rabin started her career in the film business. Although she was brought up in the tradition of Morry’s
of Naples, her family encouraged her to pursue her own dreams and goals. After making a name for herself in
the film industry, she decided that it was time to come home and apply the skills and knowledge that she had
gathered on numerous film sets to the family business. With her degree in Art and Film and her taste for the
unusual, Annie has brought a new dimension to the Morry’s legacy. Annie is responsible for all the boutique
items as well as the decadent foods you’ll find in Morry’s, and her taste and palate are expressed throughout
the store.
