P.S. In 1926, French’s was sold to J. & J. Colman of the United Kingdom a company that as well as its own mustard brand produced home care products such as Lysol, Reckit’s Blue and Brasso, as well as other products such as the Frank's RedHot condiment line. [1]
Until 1987, French’s headquarters was located at 1 Mustard Street in Rochester, New York. During its heyday, French’s was a sponsor of the local weather forecast, featuring its address prominently in television advertising. They also were a prominent sponsor of the Rochester Red Wings baseball club, often in conjunction with a local brand of hot dogs, Tobin's First Prize. The former headquarters location at 1 Mustard Street is now home to a variety of professional offices and public agencies.
