Our Philosophy
Our History
Like the men’s fashion industry itself, Gentry Ltd’s location has changed several times over our 50+ years in business. What hasn’t changed is the secret to our success…provide extraordinary service and continuously evolve to insure that our clients always look their best.
Opened across the street from Wichita State University as a college prep clothing store for men.
Moved to North Rock Road and began selling business attire in place of college prep wear. As the business continued to grow, so did Gentry Ltd.
A second store was opened at the downtown location of Broadway and William. The two locations were maintained for almost a decade, but as more downtown businesses’ continued to move to the suburbs, the downtown store was closed in 1993.
Moved into the luxurious development, The Waterfront (current location). Moving away from the crowded Rock Road location and into the upscale retail shopping area increased the accessibility and overall business.
In August 2018, Britt Fulmer sold the business to Parker Mitchell. Sometimes in order to continue growing a business, a change in leadership is needed. It is not that many of the old ways are no longer valid, but more that growth demands new vision and new energy.
