We have known Ron Sacino and his wife Sherry as friends and St. Pete Beach neighbors for decades. I think we first met at one of the late Frank Hurley’s famous holiday parties.
As CEO of Sacino’s Formalwear and Dry Cleaning, Ron is the undisputed tuxedo king of Tampa Bay. Sacino’s is a family company that started as a modest tailor shop in Fitchburg, Massachusetts in 1916.
Ron and his brother, Greg, played no small part in growing the family menswear empire with the strongest possible emphasis on customer satisfaction. Reviews online all remark about that. Ron is ready to surrender his ‘tuxedo king’ crown, which he says has tarnished under the Covid-19 pandemic. “If you think about impacts of the pandemic on businesses, it is difficult to find one more impacted than the formal wear industry,” Sacino told Paradise NEWS.
“To be perfectly honest, there was a trend toward more casual events in Florida even before COVID. Fortunately, we have also been in the dry cleaning and laundry business for decades. That is the business that is growing now.”
Their ultimate goal is to continue to live up to Sacino’s reputation of exceptional, one-on-one customer service and satisfaction.
We not only offer dry cleaning and wash, dry and fold laundry service, we now repair and polish your shoes and handbags, do clothing alterations and clean your better throw rugs and carpets! We have expanded our personal services to meet our customer’s needs in today’s marketplace!
