Malcolm Royce - Creating Memorable Moments for Your Special Occasions

Malcolm Royce embarked on its journey in 2016 as an online boutique specializing in children's special occasion apparel. However, our story goes back further than that.

The Roots: 2006

The true origins of Malcolm Royce trace back to 2006 on the bustling high streets of the UK. It all began with a family-owned children's clothing store named Turners. Mum, the matriarch of the family, managed the store with the help of her son Matthew, and Matthews beloved grandparents Doris and Malcolm. Together, they established a reputation for exceptional customer service, always delivered with warm smiles.

A Twist of Fate: 2009-2013

In 2009, Matthew embarked on a journey to visit a friend in the US Air Force stationed in Las Vegas. Little did he know that this trip would alter the course of his life. Falling in love, Matthew decided to stay, got married, and became a permanent US resident. Over the next few years, their nomadic lifestyle took them from Nevada to Florida, then to Maryland, and back to Florida.

A Heartbreaking Loss: 2013

The year 2013 brought immense sadness to the Malcolm Royce family. In April, Malcolm, a man known for his kindness and legendary tea-making skills, passed away. It was a poignant time, just days before the tragic Boston Marathon bombing and a day before Gail's visit to the United States. Upon her arrival, she broke the devastating news. The absence of a chance to say goodbye left a lasting lesson: cherish your loved ones and seize every opportunity to express your love.

A Dream Takes Shape: 2014-2016

Despite the hardships, the family persevered, and in 2014, they settled in Jacksonville, FL. In 2016, driven by the desire to honor Malcolm's memory and pay tribute to his father. Matthew embarked on a new endeavor. He started a small boys' formal wear store, aiming to capture the hearts of America, just as Malcolm would have done. After countless brainstorming sessions and comforting cups of tea, Malcolm Royce was born.

Navigating Challenges: 2019-2020

The path was not without obstacles. In 2019, Matthew's wife received a shocking cancer diagnosis. This challenging period tested their resilience as they endured long and arduous chemotherapy sessions. Today, she proudly rocks her short hair, a symbol of her strength and triumph. This experience further fueled the determination to pursue their dreams. The wheels were set in motion to find a physical location to bring Malcolm Royce to life.
