George Zimmer - The Men’s Wearhouse

Interviewer: Russ Capper | Guest: George Zimmer | Episode: 395 | Date: December 29, 2012

The founder and CEO of the Men’s Wearhouse is still at the helm after more than 35 years. Back then, he put up his own sign with a 100-foot extension cord and sold sport coats for $25. Today he has more than 1200 stores and 15,000 employees, but it hasn’t been a straight shot to the top. Like any entrepreneur, he’s made tough choices, he’s gone to super-human lengths for customers and employees. He’s talking to us now, and he’s telling stories about the adventure. Russ visits with a man he calls “the Chuck Norris of men’s apparel.” It’s a great story.
