He could guarantee you'd look good in your new suit, but unfortunately his job wasn't guaranteed.
Founder and longtime spokesperson for Men's Warehouse, George Zimmer, 64, has been fired.
The company announced his termination briefly and abruptly and gave no reason as to why according to the Associated Press.
Zimmer fired back stating that over several months the board members and he had disagreements about the future of the company: "instead of fostering the kind of dialogue that has, in part, contributed to our success, the board has inappropriately chosen to silence my concerns by terminating me as an executive officer."
George Zimmer, known for the slogan, "You're going to like the way you look. I guarantee it," founded the company in a small store in Houston, TX in 1973, using a mere cigar box as a register. Since then, the company has grown into one of the largest men's clothing sellers in North America, with 1,143 locations, the Press reports.
Its crazy to think that one can be oust out of a position in the very company they founded. What's even more suspicious is that Men's Warehouse is staying quiet about why they let the famed spokesman go.
I wouldn't worry about Zimmer that much. The man has a brilliant business mind and will be soon on to next big venture.
