Masters Tuxedo opens service center in Boardman

BOARDMAN — Masters Tuxedo is returning to the area by opening a service center for its Midwest territory.

The center will open at 5330 Market St. on April 1 and serve retail shops in a five-state territory as a wholesale distributor.

A small retail operation for tuxedo rentals and dry cleaning will serve the general public, said Ken Krainock, company chief executive.

Masters Tuxedo was founded in 1949 in Youngstown by Krainock’s father, Andrew, and Nick Mastorides. The Campbell residents operated the business from downtown Youngstown until 1990 when they moved their headquarters to 3600 Market St.

The company sold its Youngstown area retail locations in 1998 and moved its national headquarters to Las Vegas.
