Joe & Margaret Ann Gnadinger met when both were singing with a choral group. Joe’s expertise is his voice – Joe has been a part of many choral groups. He sounds just like Sinatra, and his voice has been heard throughout the entire area. Margaret Ann was handed an Accordion in her young life, had lessons, joined a band, and can still play some nice tunes. Jay is comfortable on his motorcycle and he is active in many social groups.

The Gnadingers purchased Colonel Quick Formal Wear because they knew they could make a difference. They have made Colonel Quick a very special store. This store does not have to bend to corporations. It is not a Chain store… It is not a Mall store…It is the Gnadingers’ Store… One of a kind, and thought by many Louisville customers to be “The best known secret in Tuxedo stores”…

The Gnadingers are community minded people who partner with many charities and join in their special events. Some of the Colonel Quick charities include: Cancer Society. Cerebral Palsy and Cystic Fibrosis. A portion of the funds of the company is designated for charity efforts. If you are a member of a charity organization and are interested in joining the Colonel Quick group, please call or email us…

“Brides and Grooms Walk For Babies” is a recent event that Colonel Quick sponsored. This walk benefits the March of Dimes – Savings Babies. See home page.

Colonel Quick is also a part of the performing arts events in the area. Schools and choral groups are recipients of donated formal wear garments during the year.
