A modern gentleman need not go any further than O’Connors to get decked out and fitted from head to toe in the finest fashions and accessories. The luxe, one-stop-shop on 1 Street southwest carries everything from contemporary fashions and accessories to an unparalleled selection of men’s shoes, luggage and every grooming accoutrement a man could possibly need or want. Right across the street, women can experience the same top-notch customer service, expertise and upscale fashion at O’Connors Women’s Clothing & Footwear.
Originally established as O’Connors & Bourque in 1958, the retailer is one of the oldest, independent fashion retailers in the city and one of the largest free-standing stores in the country, despite the boom-bust cycles of this town.
“We know our customers,” says 80-year-old owner Graham O’Connor, who started up a couple of clothing shops of his own before taking over the business from his father, Ed, in 1971. “We’ve been dealing with the same customers for 60 years. Now their children are coming in. You just look after people and treat them the way you want to be treated.”
