Mobley & Sons - Canterbury Clothiers

Mobley & Sons is a men's fine clothing store. I had a suit custom fitted in store a couple of years ago. Quality makes a huge difference and Mobley & Sons has been in the fine clothing business for 40 years and has been kept in the family. They are available for consults and fittings in store.

They are located at 1657 North Mcfarland

Why Buy Local???

1- Buy Local -- Support yourself: Several studies have shown that when you buy from an independent, locally owned business, rather than a nationally owned businesses, significantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses, service providers and farms -- continuing to strengthen the economic base of the community.

2 - Support community groups: Non-profit organizations receive an average 250% more support from smaller business owners than they do from large businesses.

3 - Keep our community unique: Where we shop, where we eat and have fun -- all of it makes our community home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of this place. Local = Unique.

4 - Reduce environmental impact: Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases requiring less transportation and generally set up shop in town or city centers as opposed to developing on the fringe. This generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution.

5 - Create more good jobs: Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in our community, provide the most jobs to residents.

6 - Get better service: Unlike most corporate business with chain stores - the local business is geared more on community service and hiring quality workers that care about the customer and the service they provide. Local is where they know your name.

7 - Encourage local prosperity: A growing body of economic research shows that in an increasingly homogenized world, entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character.
