After nearly six decades of serving the Glenside community, Prince Tailors is closing its doors for good. The longtime shop, located at 83 Limekiln Pike, has been a neighborhood fixture since the mid-1960s, known for its expert craftsmanship, meticulous alterations, and warm, personal service.
According to a longtime store employee, owner Maura Eugeni is retiring.
"Thank you everyone," Eugeni wrote in a social media post, "for the opportunity to fulfill generations of family since Sept. 27, 1966 when my parents 'Mr Prince' aka Alberto Eugeni [opened the store]. Thank You for all the support & encouragement.
According to the store, it is waiting for customers to pick up the last of their things.
"It’s been a great spot," she said in an interview. "I’ve been very happy over here. It’s a shame, but you have to let it go. We’ve made a lot of friends."
For generations, Prince Tailors was the go-to destination for locals needing everything from a quick hem to intricate wedding gown adjustments. Its small storefront became a trusted spot for those who valued skilled tailoring.
From its business listing, Eugeni describes the store as:
Prince Tailors was started by my parents in Sept. 1966 as Custom Made hand sewn Men wear with custom alternations for women. My father, Alberto, affectionally known as ,"Mr. Prince" owned and operated the business in the same location near 50 continue years.
