Dear customer,
Beaufort Tailors is proud to announce the re-opening of our store on Beauville St., in the town of Beaufort. After being closed for two months for expensive renovations, we are set to re-open on Saturday, September 16th.
As always, our business will be making customized garments with high-quality textiles, tailored to meet your requirements. In celebration of our re-opening, there will be a gift giveaway event outside our store, between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m. Come and see what kind of free items we offer!
We're also offering a unique one-day deal to our customers who have shown us their patronage over the year, and those who are new clients of Beaufort Tailors. For one day only, when you order custom-made apparel-suits, silk dresses, pants, or jackets — you will receive 10% to 25% off the regular charge. The discount applies to any material, from silk to cotton. The offer is valid between 9:00 a.m. when our store opens, and 9:00 p.m. when our store closes on the 16th.
We thank you for your patronage, and look forward to seeing you at our re-opening ceremony.
Beaufort Tailors. There is no substitute for custom-made attire.
