    $1.8 billion Houston Takeover

    A $1.8 billion Houston takeover: Men's Wearhouse gobbles up a competitor, area store closings to follow

    A fractious battle between two menswear giants reached a truce Tuesday when Men's Wearhouse announced that is acquiring rival Jos. A. Bank Clothiers for about $1.8 billion.

    The announcement ended a five-month saga that started when Jos. A. Bank offered to buy Men's Wearhouse, whose corporate offices are in Houston and Fremont, Calif., soon after Men's Wearhouse founder George Zimmer was pushed out of the company.

    The announcement ended a five-month saga that started when Jos. A. Bank offered to buy Men's Wearhouse soon after founder George Zimmer was pushed out.

    The bidding went back and forth between the two rivals and at one point Jos. A. Bank said it planned to acquire clothing brand Eddie Bauer in a bid to stay independent.

    Men's Wearhouse brought the clothing war to a conclusion with an offer price of $65 per share, considerably more than the Jos. A. Bank stock price when the battle began last October.

    The combined operation will create the fourth-largest men's apparel retailer in the United States with annual sales of about $3.5 billion at more than 1,700 stores. The Associated Press reports that Jos. A. Bank will keep its name and possibly its "buy one suit and get three free" deals.

    To reduce costs, Men's Wearhouse is expected to close duplicate stores in the same mall or in free-standing locations close to each other. In Houston, Men's Wearhouse and Jos A. Banks overlap in such locations as the River Oaks Shopping Center, Meyerland, the Galleria area and Sugar Land. The company has not announced any closings or consolidations.

    Men's Wearhouse has acquired Jos. A. Bank Clothiers to create the fourth largest men's clothing chain in the U.S.

    Browse racks from Houston’s top boutiques during The Sale, a January shopping tradition that gives back to Texas Children’s Cancer and Hematology Center.

    Houston's savvy shoppers know the secret. January is the month when closets across the city get a glow-up without wrecking bank accounts. Everything from designer dresses, shoes, jewelry, and those must-have accessories are available at discounted prices. Yes, "no buy January" is having a social media moment, but shoppers should grant an exception for these local, very worth-it finds.

    To help make shopping smarter and faster, here's a round up of the Bayou City's best sales happening right now.

    Elizabeth Anthony
    Uptown is buzzing as Elizabeth Anthony hosts the Houston Designer sale featuring an extra 25 percent off already reduced prices. If your New Year's resolutions include a closet upgrade, take this sign sign to stock up on designer styles from Zimmerman, Ulla Johnson, Lela Rose, Lafayette 148, and more.

    Hunter Bell
    Houston shoppers are used to queuing up for Hunter Bell's annual warehouse sale, but this year, the fan-favorite designer decided to keep things digital. From January 15 through 20, the online-only sale offers up to 80 percent off all 2025 sale inventory. New styles will be added throughout the week, meaning repeat visits are a must. This sale is the perfect opportunity to snag Bell's signature statement pieces and bold prints sans the usual splurge.

    The Sale
    This beloved annual event brings together more than 50 of Houston’s top boutiques and has raised more than $2.5 million for pediatric cancer research since 2015. Presented by Houston Tri Delta Philanthropies, Inc., The Sale runs January 8 through 10 at Bayou City Event Center, with proceeds benefiting Texas Children’s Cancer and Hematology Center.

    Expect discounted finds from Christy Lynn, Bering’s, The Avenue, Golden, J Landa Jewelry, Mirth, Tutu and Lilli, Woody’s Furs, and many more. This event is one-stop shopping with some serious feel-good energy. Full details and the complete vendor list are available here.

    Tootsies
    The River Oaks staple's annual Big Sale is happening both online and in-person with an extra 50 percent off all sale items. Yes, extra. It is their biggest sale of the year, and that extra discount means everything from shoes and handbags to jewelry and ready-to-wear styles are suddenly within reach.
