About Us
In 1993, Dick Fowlkes opened a men’s clothing store on Libbie Ave in the Westhampton area of Richmond, Va to offer customers traditional men’s clothing “with a twist.” As his brand grew, he moved around the corner to 5718 Grove Ave. The shop developed as a staple in the Westhampton retail district. Dick’s mantra was we are “not just selling a product; we are offering a lifestyle.”
In 2012, Dick moved to a larger location on the corner of Libbie and Grove Avenues to accommodate the growing business. By 2022, Dick was ready to retire from his forty years in retail. Elizabeth Creasey, who had worked with Dick since 2005, and Rick Witty, retired from wholesale distribution industry in 2020, bought Peter-Blair in January 2023. Their mission was to continue the high quality service and brands that had made the shop such a success.
Going forward, we are excited to bring “our own twist” to the selection of clothes, while maintaining the traditional, colorful look that had made Peter-Blair an institution in Westhampton.
