Theirs was a marriage made in heaven.

Not the “bride and groom” kind of marriage, mind you, but a business marriage between two already successful people. The Gibeley family, owners of Giblees men’s clothing store, and Ellen Turkanis, owner of the former Suitable, a women’s clothing and accessory boutique on Atlantic Avenue in Marblehead, said “We do” early in September.

Turkanis always shopped at Giblees when her husband and sons needed clothing. She became a fan of co-owner Alan Gibeley and his father, Robert, not only for their fine taste in clothing but for their business acumen. When she decided to open her own clothing store, she consulted with the younger Gibeley, and he taught her the ins and outs of running a retail clothing business.

When the Gibeleys decided to consolidate Giblees clothing and tuxedo stores under one roof, they asked Turkanis if she would like to merge her clothing store with theirs. Turkanis always enjoyed helping women look their very best when they shopped at Suitable, but she was ready for a new challenge. After mulling over the idea, she accepted the proposal to form a partnership.

In her new role, Turkanis will oversee the women’s clothing division at Giblees. “I’m exhilarated and excited by the prospect,” she said.

To celebrate their business union, they will hold a grand opening from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, September 27, at their Route 114 location in Danvers. The event will feature catered food and will be hosted by Billy Costa from Kiss 108 FM and TV Diner. Throughout the day and evening, gift certificates will be given away to local restaurants, day spas and other establishments. To add class to an already classy event, a Ferrari will take center stage at the store, compliments of Ferrari Maserati of New England.

Giblees has been a mainstay of men’s clothing on the North Shore since 1945. Alan Gibeley’s grandfather, Joseph, enjoyed a lengthy presence in Salem until 1980. It was then that they moved the store to the Liberty Tree Mall.

Gibeley said that men’s fashions have changed over the years, from the more formal suit to casual attire, given that many men now work from home or telecommute. Customers who shop at Giblees are inclined to be young executive, or older gentlemen who have kids in college.

“In this business climate, we have to appeal to a wide range of tastes for both men and women,” said Gibeley, adding that he carries everything from blue jeans to shirts and ties. Turkanis will carry a similar line of women’s clothing.

Turkanis, who has served as a leader in the Federation and Women’s Division, is a member of the board of trustees at Cohen Hillel Academy and North Shore Advisor of the Anti-Defamation League, said she and Gibeley will hold a cancer fund-raising event in October. Other similar events are also in the works.

Giblees hours are 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 12 noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
