On a crisp autumn morning in the mid-1970s, a 30-year-old man named Roy Raymond walked into a department store to buy his wife lingerie.
What he found in the store were, tacky designs and unappealing nightdresses that stuck out like a sore thumb under the fluorescent lighting…
Add to this the piercing stare of the saleslady who made him feel like a filthy pervert just for being there…
The experience was truly appalling.
However, it was this horrible experience that sparked a wonderful idea in Raymond’s mind…
After finding out that his male friends felt the same way when shopping for lingerie, he saw an opportunity to establish a market where basically none existed.
He got a hare-brained idea to build a lingerie store that would make men feel completely comfortable.
He essentially designed a lingerie store, FOR MEN!
