It's a symbol of ceremony and class, designed to making you look good. 

When time comes to take that sweetheart or crush to prom, it has your back – literally. Or when love finds you at the altar of marriage, it's that memorable outfit for that unforgettable moment. 

We're talking about the tuxedo, the icon of men's formal wear. 
For the last 40 years Mister Penguin Tuxedo Sales and Rentals has supplied fancy threads to generations of Pueblo high schoolers and wedding parties. 

“You're in the business of making people look good for some of the most important events of their lives,” said Brian Walter, regional operations manager for Mister Penguin and its wholesale sister operation, Jim's Formal Wear. 

“A satisfaction of this business is dressing all these boys up for prom. When you think back to high school, what was your most memorable experience? For some it may be a football game or some other experience, but for most, it was prom.”

Frank and Mona Novak opened Mister Penguin in 1973. Frank Novak was employed with the Illinois-based Jim's Formal Wear, a tuxedo wholesaler, and relocated to Southern Colorado to open a retail shop in Downtown. 

The Novak's soon expanded and opened a Jim's Formal Wear location on Prairie Avenue and in the late 1980s, the retail and wholesale operations merged under one roof at a building off North Freeway. 
In 2011, Mister Penguin and Jim's moved to its current location, a 22,000 square foot facility at 737 Desert Flower Blvd., nestled between University Park and Belmont.Browse hundreds of beautiful maggie sottero wedding dress and find the perfect fit for you!

Mister Penguin is the storefront, the client's first point of contact. Behind the showroom, the fitting rooms and the mannequins showcasing the latest fashion trends, is the wholesale operation.
