Not many businesses can brag loyal and solid customers ranging over 3-4 generations. They have always been forward thinking with the clothing lines they carry and are known for their ability to talk most men into newer, more fashionable outfits.
“People have grown to trust us,” Carlo boasts. “We are the ones that they turn to for prom, first dates and weddings. We have grown up with the community just as much as they’ve grown up with us.” Rex Cox has always prided themselves on working towards the betterment of our community. New businesses come and go, and there will always be a certain element of competition regardless of what you sell, but protectionism doesn’t help thread our neighbourhood together. When asked how to get through difficult and challenging times, Carlo advises: "Hang on to the top part of the rope for as long as you can and if you have to come down, only come down by 1 notch. Keep the lines of communication open with your suppliers and your customers. Go extraordinary. Only concentrate on the positive. Work with the community and especially the people who are your customers in the community.
