HOUSTON, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — The Men’s Wearhouse (NYSE: MW)
today announced that it has not experienced any significant damage to its
Houston area retail stores and distribution facilities due to Hurricane Ike.
Although Houston-based distribution processes were temporarily impacted, chain
wide requirements for tuxedo rental events and retail merchandise continue to
be serviced as a result of adequate redundancy of capacity within its
nationwide distribution network as well as adequate back-up power sources in
the Houston distribution facilities. The re-opening of the Company’s retail
stores in the Houston area; Men’s Wearhouse, K&G and MW Cleaners, is currently
expected to be completed within a week.

Founded in 1973, Men’s Wearhouse is one of North America’s largest
specialty retailers of men’s apparel with 1,287 stores. The Men’s Wearhouse,
Moores and K&G stores carry a full selection of designer, brand name and
private label suits, sport coats, furnishings and accessories and the MW Tux
(formerly After Hours) stores carry a limited selection. Tuxedo rentals are
available in the Men’s Wearhouse, Moores and MW Tux stores.
