"Clothing concierges recently opened in Alterations Plus next door to the old Gaidry’s at 121 W. College St. in Lake Charles.

The business first began in 1920 as Gaidry’s Men’s Wear. In the fall of 2010, Gaidry’s closed and spun off into Alterations Plus. The new business focus was on alterations for men, women, and children, with custom suits, sports coats, slacks and shirts, that were previously offered by Gaidry’s still available at Alterations Plus. In addition, merchandise that previously had been in stock at Gaidry’s was now available for customers through special order. "
