Christopher Mobley

Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, 1952. This is where the Christopher Mobley story began. From Lawrenceburg, CD Mobley and Chris Mobley Sr. migrated to Fulton, Mississippi, then Tupelo, before finally ending up on University Boulevard in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where he opened The Varsity Shop in 1971. The Varsity Shop sold the highest-end retail products that Tuscaloosa had to offer at the time. Seeing a strong demand from residents north of the river, Chris Mobley Sr. moved his store in 1985 to The Tuscaloosa Galleria and rebranded the store as Mobley & Sons. From that moment forward, Mobley & Sons went on to become the premier luxury-clothing store of West Alabama. Fast-forward 51 years later. CD Mobleys grandson and Chris Mobley Sr's son, Christopher, is now in the family business. With the advances in technology and the influence of performance fabrics, both father and son decided it was time to expand once again. In August of 2019, the Mobley family returned back to where it all started, University Boulevard, only this time, in a much different style. Mobley & Sons opened a new store designed for the modern-day entrepreneur, golf enthusiast, and athleisure fanatic. In order to connect the two stores but promote different styles, the new store was named Christopher Mobley. Identifying the new venture is a logo that features the letter M and the Roman numeral 3, which represents the three generations of the Mobley family that have been in the retail clothing business. As times change, the launch of the new store proved that the Mobley family seizes opportunities to grow and learn. The Christopher Mobley store was open just six months before the pandemic hit in March of 2020. Through the strong relationships and loyal customers that the Mobley family fostered over the years, Christopher Mobley continued to thrive. In December of 2022, they opened a new store in Athens, Georgia, marking another exciting chapter fueled by their relationships and loyal customers.
