Men's Wearhouse to Occupy Former Blockbuster Building

Several months ago, Enfield Patch featured the on Hazard Ave. as part of its feature series, "Visions For Vacancies."

The answer to what business will occupy that space in the Brookside Plaza came recently, when the Enfield Planning & Zoning Commission approved an application for a facade change to the structure, converting it to a Men's Wearhouse.

Men's Wearhouse is a national chain of nearly 600 stores, selling men's suits and formalwear. The company is based in Houston, TX, and its founder, George Zimmer, appears in the chain's radio and television promotions, uttering the slogan, "You're going to like the way you look; I guarantee it."

No timetable has been established for the business opening. Enfield Patch was unable to reach the applicant, Don Kirby, who appeared before the commission on behalf of owners Equity One LLC.

The nearest Men's Wearhouse to Enfield is on Boston Road in Springfield, MA. The closest Connecticut location is in the Target/Lowe's Plaza in South Windsor.
