Ribbon-cutting ceremony today for new menswear store on Grand

A year ago, Shomari Benton and David Lloyd were fresh out of law school and grinding away their days at one of the largest corporate law firms in Kansas City — and looking damn good doing it.They each got ribbed by other lawyers at the firm for their always-crisp attire — three piece suits, pocket squares, the works. Both were frustrated that the only time they could shop for clothes that matched their style was when they traveled outside of Kansas City.

Lloyd and Benton hatched a plan to open a menswear store. Today at 4 p.m., the Downtown Council is hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the brick-and-mortar reality of Benton and Lloyd’s dream: Method, their new store at 1529 Grand.
