About Ducky's Formal Wear

George "Ducky" Anthony opened his first store in Peoria, Illinois in 1946. When he started, Ducky's was a place to buy custom tailored clothing and children's shoes. However, George soon expanded into tuxedo rentals and the business exploded. His son Steve Anthony joined the company as a young child and then became owner in 1972. Over the next few years, Ducky's Formalwear would enter Rock Island (now in Moline), Galesburg and DeKalb. Today Alex, Steve's son, is learning the many details of running the business, while little Colton Anthony is learning to walk.
