Have you picked up a bridal magazine lately? The January issue of Brides Magazine is bigger than the London telephone book. Weddings are big business. Love and marriage are relatively resistant to recession. The wedding day is still the most important day of a woman's life. Brides want their grooms and groomsmen in formal wear. Today, tuxedos are constantly being rented and bought for weddings, proms, dinner parties, winter formals and other social events. This is a growing market with great potential for the individual or couple seeking to enter the business world.
 

The Formula
 

Rent a Suit is simply a highly attractive and affordable business designed to provide the value and service today's customers are looking for. Rent a Suit believes that money spent on "high rent" locations, such as malls, can better be spent on inventory and the owner's profits. Most Rent a Suit stores are located in smaller shopping centres and average 1,000 sq. feet in size. The Rent a Suit Formal Wear franchise offers the customer quality men's formal wear at reasonable prices with a commitment to customer service.
