More about Josh…
I moved to AZ in January 1997 after freezing my tail off in ND and pursued my dream of becoming a golf professional at the Golf Academy of AZ. After that, I played professionally for a few years and found my niche in teaching. I was in the golf industry until 2011 and bounced around for about a year until I sat down with my aunt and uncle and talked about being a part of Nick’s Menswear. My family had owned clothing stores in North Dakota pretty much my whole life and it was in my blood. I came on board and proved that I was the right guy for the job. Fast-forward almost 7 years later here we are, 4 stores, a booming wedding and prom business with unlimited growth opportunities. At Nick’s our one job is to provide the absolute best service in the industry with the best fit and price. Because we live in Arizona, people aren’t wearing suits on a daily basis, so our typical customer either has an old suit that doesn’t fit anymore or doesn’t have a suit and needs one quickly. Last year we clothed over 1,000 wedding parties and dressed nearly 5,000 local high schoolers, while donating back $50,000 to local schools…pretty cool.
