For nearly a generation, men’s retail has been focused almost solely on technology and sports with little attention to fashion, grooming and household goods. However, with tailored fit garments finding their way back into fashion and a growing number of designers embracing the classic styles of the 1920s, 30s and 40s, men are starting to ask for more. Luckily, Roosevelt & Company has the answer.

“I think from our perspective, ever since we’ve lived in Huntsville, Alabama (a little over 10 years now), there hasn’t been a store that has met that need,” Meggan Crunkleton, CEO of Roosevelt & Company, explained.

After years of traveling out of town to cities like Birmingham, Nashville and Atlanta to do their shopping, Meggan and her husband/business partner Wesley Crunkleton have decided that enough is enough. The time has come for Huntsville to have a men’s store of its own.

Partnering with Roosevelt Upton III, who will serve as the director of retail operations, and retail consultant Miranda King of Haymakers & Co. in Nashville Tennessee, the pair plans to bring a brand new, full-service men’s lifestyle store to Huntsville, Alabama this fall.

“I’m excited to open a store where the men of our community can have options. I’m excited for there to be a place that is accessible, lets them feel good about themselves and find the quality clothing and lifestyle products that they’re looking for,” Meggan said.

In addition to meeting an underserved need in the community, Roosevelt is also passionate about the store’s location in the brand new adaptive re-use development, The Garage At Clinton Row in Downtown Huntsville. “It reminds me of my hometown back in Michigan, it’s not a large city at all, but the downtown area, back then, was the place to shop. There was a men’s store there that has been around for a long time, and that is where men could be men. And that’s what we want to bring to Huntsville.”

The store, which plans to open in early November, will be a complete men’s lifestyle store carrying items such as premium denim and sportswear, sweaters, buttons-ups and tailored clothing. In addition the store will feature a curated selection of gifts and provisions including, apothecary products, candles, travel bags, leather goods, sunglasses, barware, shoes, furniture as well as feature an in-store, one-chair, master barber for a complete one-stop shopping destination.

“We want to have a place for anyone where, if they need to buy a gift for a man in their life, they know they’re going to Roosevelts. Because they know they can find something there at various price points, but at each price point, it’s going to be a quality product that they can feel good about,” said Roosevelt.

But more than just providing a space where men can go shopping, Roosevelt & Company’s vision is to create a full service environment that welcomes anyone to linger, relax and build community with one another.

From fashion, to household goods, to grooming and the perfect haircut, for Roosevelt & Company, it’s about building relationships with the men of our community along the way, growing with them, and giving them the confidence they need to go after their dreams.
