Al's Formal Wear's sudden closure left many brides and grooms in the lurch just before their weddings.
—🚨 Rusty Surette 🚨 (@KBTXRusty) August 8, 2023Al's Formal Wear had 26 stores in Texas and had operated in the area for over 70 years.
Other than Texas-based Al's Formal Wear, sister brands Tip Top Tux, Nedrebo's Formal Wear, Savvi Formal Wear, and American Commodore have also shut down, local news outlet Atlanta News First reported.
Rival Atlanta-based formal wear chain Men's Wearhouse said in a statement on Wednesday that it would offer a $100 discount for customers with unfulfilled orders from any of Dapper & Dashing's subsidiaries.
Dapper & Dashing and Al's Formal Wear did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider, sent outside regular business hours.
