Voting Home / Leody's Clothing
Nominated for: BEST Men's Clothing
Leody's was founded in 1974 in Akron by tailors Leo Cornacchione and Ody Frangiodakis. After immigrating from Europe they both found jobs at local department stores tailoring in the shop. They decided to open their own tailor shop in Akron on North Main Street and combined their first names "Leo and "Ody" and Leody's was born.
After many years of tailoring and making custom clothing, the store eventually evolved into a full service retail store. In the mid 1980's the partnership was dissolved and both men went on to have their own stores. Leo kept the Leody's name and has been in business ever since. The store is now owned by Leo's son John E. Cornacchione, and continues to provide an outstanding level of service. As of Sept. 2007 Leody's opened their second store located in Medina Ohio.
