Located in historic Southend, Penguins is Charlotte's destination for men's formal wear. Penguins is not shopping, instead it's a comfortable, modern setting, to have a drink and look at tuxedos! Looking to rent or buy a tuxedo for your upcoming wedding, prom or formal affair? We cater to you! Penguins offers a variety of styles, including modern, classic and vintage tuxedos and an array of suits. We offer your favorite names, such as Calvin Klein, Chaps, Ralph Lauren, FUBU, Stephen Geoffrey, Seven, After Six and more. Our formal wear collection is accompanied by a vast assortment of ties, bowties and vests. In addition to tuxedos, we have customizable gifts: money clips, cuff links, flasks, poker sets, golf putters, humidors, pens, beer mugs, glasses, lighters and more! All gifts include personalized engraving. Currently, Penguins offers Arturo Fuente and Padron cigars.
Penguins was absolutely flawless from the moment I contacted them. They were able to get their hands on the tux we needed to try on, got all the order information from every groomsman from all over the country, and made sure we had what we needed when we needed it. I'd recommend them to anyone!!
Pros: Super helpful, patient, detail oriented.
Cons: none

I had something specific in mind. The owner Vidhi, helped me put together what I was looking for. Even though they didn?t have my finance?s size in the store, she dressed up the mannequins so we could see the looks side by side in person instead of a catalog. Their prices are around the same as Men?s Warehouse but the service is so much better. And free drinks!!
Pros: personal attention, mom and pop type store.
Cons: none

I?ve heard many of my friends complain about customer service at commercial tux shops and outdated fashions at some of the mom and pop stores. I did not encounter any of these issues at Penguins. If you are looking for an ?experience,? it?s the place to go. Vidhi goes above and beyond to help you find the right look for your big day or special event. Although store hours are by appointment only during the week, they were very flexible in arranging to meet with me.

Penguins is owned and operated by a great couple here in Southend.
They are a perfect addition to the businesses in this area and are sure to do well. Not only do they offer Tuxedos, but custom gifts for the grooms men and a relaxing environment.
Flat screen tv, leather couch and a cocktail area make your experience an enjoyable one!
We reccomend to everyone.
Pros: Locally owned,posh atmosphere and great accessories.

I really liked this place. I had to get a tuxedo for a friend's wedding and I picked the right place to go. Very cool atmosphere, with a large variety of tuxedos, suits, and men's gifts. They offered me a drink as soon as I came in, and then we sat down and looked through the tuxedos. Very nice place, very nice people.
Pros: Really helpful staff, layed back atmosphere, cool place
Cons: none

We went in to find a tuxedo for our wedding party, and wow, we had been to men's wearhouse earlier and it was horrible. This place really cares about service and treating you right. We had a great time sitting in the lounge atmoshpere and picking out the perfect tuxedo. Loved the experience!
Pros: Best service, best atmosphere, awesome selection of tuxedos
Cons: none
