Miltons Honored At MR Magazine 2016 Menswear Awards Dinner
On Monday evening, July 18 th Dana Katz owner of Miltons The Store For Men accepted MR Magazine’s award for Excellence in Specialty Store Retail at the MR Awards dinner at Gotham Hall in New York City. The award is presented to one store nationwide, based on a variety of factors, by the leading men’s trade magazine at its annual event.
One of the most successful and highly respected merchants in the men’s business, Miltons, with stores in Braintree, MA and Chestnut Hill, MA has become a favorite destination for both customers and suppliers. Its huge assortment of over 4,000 suits is far larger than the selection in just about any store in the region. “The Miltons team has done an amazing job competing and winning in a market dominated by retailers many times its size,” said MR editor-in-chief Karen Alberg Grossman. “They do it with a combination of smart buying, strong vendor partnerships, superior customer service and exceptional value.”
The award was presented by two New York City merchants and close friends of Katz, Ken Giddon of Rothmans and Anthony DiGirolamo of Garage Clothing, who described Katz as not just an intuitive merchant but also an exceptional human being. Katz gave all credit to his talented executive team, his strong sellers, his professional tailors; his grandfather, father and uncle who paved the way; and his incredibly supportive family, wife Ariela, daughter Becky and son Alex, all in attendance to celebrate with him. “The only thing better than Dana is his wife and kids,” said Giddon.
