The Common Denominator of Success in Work Clothes: G&L Clothes & Carhartt By Wayne Messick Behind their website is a real clothing store with a sales staff of real people. G&L Clothing has been serving customers in downtown Des Moines, Iowa for almost 90 years.
Last month we launched a new feature on our web site that we hope will allow successful business owners like them to provide our readers with a thumbnail view of their company. G&L Clothing is the first company we're publishing.
Originally the only profiles we published were those of people who were interviewed extensively by one of our staff. Their the story was written and published with much back and forth that limited the number of success stories we could tell.
G&L Clothing is located in Des Moines, Iowa and has been an institution of downtown Des Moines for nearly nine decades. Over the years they've lived in a number of buildings throughout the area. After a fire destroyed our previous location, we built our current store at 1801 Ingersoll Ave and moved in on October 1st, 1996.
