Bonjon Tuxedo Shop Rochester, NY

BonJon Tux Shop was a chain of tuxedo stores with locations in Rochester, NY in the 1960s and 1970s.  Their main store was on East Main Street where the present day Delta Sonic car wash and gas station is.  They also had locations on East Ridge Road, Lyell Avenue, Dewey Avenue and Winton Road. While we are sad to see an independent tux shop in our community close, we are happy to welcome all past customers of Bon Jon Tux Shop to Vittorio Menswear & Tuxedo.  We have an extensive in-stock collection of tuxedos and wedding suits, a nationwide fitting network and a personalized approach to service that you would expect from a family-owned formal wear retailer.

We are located at 1900 East Ridge Road, Rochester, NY 14622, just a minutes from just about anywhere in Rochester.  If you need to call, our number is 585.467.7711.

Vittorio’s Helps Sponsor ROC Transit Day

/1 Comment/in , /by

ROC Transit Day

ROC Transit Day (June 20, 2013) is a grassroots campaign intended to encourage Rochesterians to use public transit and go car-free for one day. Rochester area employers can request free all-day bus passes for their employees. And anyone with a transit fare card on ROC Transit Day can redeem exclusive deals and offers at participating shops and businesses.

Vittorio Menswear & Tuxedo is a sponsor this year and is participating in the discount program to encourage folks to go a little easier on our environment by leaving their car home for a day.  On June 20th we’ll take 15% off the regular price of a future tuxedo rental or any regular price retail purchase in our store by showing your RTS Fare Card.  We’re also giving our employees transit passes for the day to help out the effort.  We hope you’ll join us in helping make this year a success!

Here are a few details about public transit that you may not have realized:

Public Transportation Saves Money

  • The average household spends 16 cents of every dollar on transportation, and 94% of this goes to buying, maintaining, and operating cars, the largest expenditure after housing.
  • Public transportation provides an affordable, and for many, necessary, alternative to driving.
  • Households that are likely to use public transportation on a given day save more than $9,700 every year.

Public Transportation Reduces Gasoline Consumption

  • Public transportation’s overall effects save the United States 4.2 billion gallons of gasoline annually.
  • Households near public transit drive an average of 4,400 fewer miles than households with no access to public transit. This equates to an individual household reduction of 223 gallons per year.

Public Transportation Reduces Carbon Footprint

  • Communities that invest in public transit reduce the nation’s carbon emissions by 37 million metric tons annually: equivalent to  New York City; Washington, DC; Atlanta; Denver; and Los Angeles combined stopped using electricity.
  • A single commuter switching his or her commute to public transportation can reduce a household’s carbon emissions by 10%, or up to 30% if he or she eliminates a second car. When compared to other household actions that limit CO2, taking public transportation can be 10 times greater in reducing this harmful greenhouse gas.
