Men’s Wearhouse (NYSE: MW) is the largest men’s dress apparel retailer in the United States. The company is based in Houston, Texas, and is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The company was founded by George Zimmer in 1973.
 
The company operates under the names Men’s Wearhouse, K&G Superstores (an off-brand chain featuring discontinued items), Moores Clothing for Men (a Canadian chain of men’s clothing stores), and Twin Hill Corporate apparel.
 
It is well known for its television and radio commercials featuring Zimmer, and the oft-repeated slogan, “You’re going to like the way you look; I guarantee it.” According to Business Week, Men’s Wearhouse targets the common man, with “the neatly displayed clothes in Zimmer’s stores [being] designed to cater to the unpretentious guy who wants to do as little as possible to maintain his wardrobe.”
 
On November 17, 2006, Men’s Wearhouse acquired After Hours Formalwear, a clothier specializing in black tie formalwear, from Federated Department Stores, the parent company of department store giant Macy’s. The resulting sale renamed the chain to MW Tux.
