our story
In 1974, Jack Black opened Suit City on Louisville road in the Hawkeegan Shopping Area. Specializing in men’s clothing and specifically clothing for the gentlemen and business oriented man. Early on Mr. Black would drive to St. Louis on the weekends to pick up new suits, blazers, and sport coats.
In 1980, Frankfort started growing out the 127 Corridor and Mr. Black decided to build and move Suit City to 1134 127S where it has been ever since. Early on there wasn’t much commercial property developed but later became the main corridor into Frankfort.
In 2020, Mr. Black decided it was time for retirement and put Suit City up for sell. As the COVID outbreak started it made it even harder to stay open or sale in that environment during that time.
In September of 2022, Shane and Amber Moreland purchased Suit City with the intent of building on what Mr. Black created. They hope to build a new legacy. Keeping the 50 year old landmark in place while creating new processes and modernizing operations.
In 2023, Devonte O’dell was named Assistant Manager and will help lead Suit City into the future. While we have doubled our tuxedo, suit, and shoe rental options we will be bringing in Made to Measure suiting option along with bringing back some of the brands from past and updating inventory.
