T-R-M Clothing is an independent Waterford retailer with a history dating back to 1981. Located on Michael Street in Waterford City, the store offers menswear, womenswear and suits, with Rafs Barbers also operating within the premises.
What is T-R-M Clothing?
The story of T-R-M Clothing began in 1981 when Tony Roche opened his first shop in Georges Court, Waterford.
Within two years, the business had expanded into a larger store, also in Georges Court, where Tony Roche Menswear continued trading for many years.
Tony’s daughter Elaine entered the retail business in 1990 when she opened Route66 next door. She operated Route66 for 18 years before moving into other areas and later returning to take over her father’s business.
Elaine subsequently moved the business to Michael Street and renamed it T-R-M, using her father’s initials.
The move also saw the introduction of a ladies’ section, while Rafs Barbers became part of the Michael Street store.
