MENS WEARHOUSE: Not Your Typical Suit Store

In the 1970's, when polyester dominated the fashion scene, a young George Zimmerman knew that leisure suits could be more. Much more. George thought that men's suits could not only be fashionable, but they could be affordable and comfortable as well. In 1973 George started the Men's Wearhouse founded on the philosophy of generating quality clothing and meaningful relationships with customers, vendors, shareholders, and the communities where they do business.

The Men's Wearhouse has a strong emphasis on creating a work environment where their employees can not only be creative, but where they can also grow as individuals, find friendship, and cultivate job satisfaction. The Men's Wearhouse puts the employees in control, working to avoid "bureaucracy and rigid rules." The trust they have for their employees manifests itself directly into a unique, and highly satisfactory experience for their customers. Each store is distinctive thanks to the individual ideas and goals of the employees, and while the Men's Wearhouse "commitment to customer service is always present, the atmosphere in each store has its own feel." This approach to creating experiences is one that employees and customers can both enjoy, as employees find their work more personally fulfilling and customers revel in the unmatched level of service they receive. The Men's Wearhouse doesn't stop there. Yes, they have great customer service, but they also have quality clothes at amazing prices. They offer suits, ties, sweaters, shoes, and dress shirts from designers like Calvin Klein, Nautica, and Kenneth Cole at prices that are 20% to 50% less than you would pay at a department store, proving that fine business wear no longer has to break the bank. With prices and quality in one place it's no wonder that they sell more suits than Brooks Brothers, Jos.A. Banks, and Nordstrom combined. And if you're challenged in the fashion department, don't worry, each of the 500 Men's Werhouse locations offers wardrobe consultants that will help you figure out styling, size, budget, and tailoring options.

The Men's Wearhouse capitalizes on convenience and care, and wants to be there when you need them most. And while they aren't a typical suit store, they're the first choice for thousands of loyal customers.
