A.S. Cooper Man Celebrating 10th Anniversary
The management and staff of A.S. Cooper Man are celebrating 10 years at their current location this month with a special VIP evening on April 25th plus extended hours and a weekend of specials for the general public beginning on April 26th.
In 2002, Cooper’s management started working with landlord Pembroke Stores Ltd. to redevelop the 29 Front St location into Bermuda’s largest men’s clothing emporium.
In April 2003 the store was opened by then Managing Director, Peter Cooper. Since then A.S.Cooper Man has grown, anchored by top selling men’s brands; Polp Ralph Lauren, Locoste, Izod, Helly Hansen, DKNY Jeans and Tommy Bahama. New brands such as Brook Brothers, Vineyard Vines, Perry Ellis, and Southern Tides have been added to the mix.
Current A.S. Cooper’s Managing Director, Somers Cooper stated, “We are extremely proud of our award winning Men’s Store and it is certainly one of the jewels in the crown of the Cooper’s group of stores.
“Our combination of top men’s brands sold at U.S. prices along with a great team of dedicated staff created a winning recipe that has allowed us to be the pace setter for the men’s clothing business in Bermuda. We are extremely appreciative of our loyal client base and hope everyone will join us in this 10 years celebration.
The management staff responsible for the day operation of the A.S.Cooper Man store include General Merchandise Manager Jim Leamy, Merchandise Planner Zoe Gould and Store Manager Isabel Smith. They are supported by a sales team which includes Van Swan, Ana Davis, Rose Burgess, Pam Gilbert and Derrick Durrant. Veteran Van Swan is a 2011 recipient of the Visitor industry Partnership [VIP] Award for best retail shop assistant.
