TAILORED BRANDS REOPENS FULFILLMENT CENTERS, NEW BEDFORD FACTORY

Tailored Brands reopened its e-commerce fulfillment centers on Monday, March 30th and these centers have begun shipping online orders.

While the company’s retail stores will remain temporarily closed until at least May 4th, Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank can now ship directly to customers who place retail orders on the brands’ respective websites as well as rental orders previously placed in-store, and new rental reservations made online.

The company also announced that its factory in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in conjunction with a leading privately-held manufacturer and distributor of medical supplies, will begin the production of cotton washable facemasks that can be used when an FDA approved mask is not available. The factory will use the manufacturer’s material and specifications and provide the sewing.

The company will bring back furloughed employees to make 50,000 masks over the next few weeks and will continue to look for additional opportunities to help front-line healthcare professionals. The New Bedford factory will undergo the same enhanced social distancing and sanitation protocols as our e-commerce fulfillment centers.

Tailored Brands president and CEO Dinesh Lathi said, “Our top priority will always be the safety and wellbeing of our employees, customers, and communities, and I am proud of how quickly our supply chain leadership modified our distribution center operations to create a safe workplace environment for our fulfillment team members during this health crisis.”
