Ann & Hope was a Rhode Island–based retailer that pioneered practices now common in modern big box stores. The company was named after the ship Ann and Hope, which was built in 1798 by the firm Brown & Ives, famous merchants of early Providence, RI. The name was given to the ship in honor of Ann, wife of Nicholas Brown Jr., and Hope, wife of Thomas Poynton Ives. They operated from 1953 to 2001 in the Northeastern United States, and they formerly operated a small chain of home fashion outlets, garden outlets, and dollar outlets in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
