The story

Tony Margolis, Bob Emfield, and their wives dreamed up the idea of "Tommy Bahama", a lifestyle of never leaving the beach. In 1991, Tony and Bob discussed their concept with Lucio Dalla Gasperina. From the outset, the three envisioned the kind of upscale casual apparel Tommy would wear: printed silk shirts and tailored pants for island living. Basing clothing on the concept, they founded Tommy Bahama Group, Inc. in 1993. The first retaill store opened in Naples, Florida in 1996. The first five stores also had restaurants attached, and as of 2026, Tommy Bahama has 29 restaurants. In 2003, Tommy Bahama Group became fully owned by Oxford Industries, Inc.
