BIB ‘N Tux

A Brief History…

Established in 1976 as The Formal Penguin, our father Darrell Dudney's business later transitioned into Bib 'N Tux in 1983.  He opened his first 2 tuxedo stores in the old Floriland Mall and the Tampa Bay Mall in Tampa, Florida.  After those early years, Bib 'N Tux moved and maintained a substantial presence on Fowler Avenue. As means to preserve the family business during the devastating impacts of COVID-19 in 2020, Darrell’s grandson, Darrell “Ash” Dudney, relocated Bib ‘N Tux to Seminole Heights before ultimately finding a permanent storefront in South Tampa in 2021 - where we continue to be centrally located between the 4 counties we serve.  For more than 40 years, Darrell and sons have taken pride in outfitting the Bay Area’s men and women in the latest formal wear fashions.  Since he passed away in 2014, his sons and grandson continue the tradition he established.
