About
Here in Peoria, Ghantous is a well-known name in the tailoring business, passing down their craft for generations. Dumit Ghantous learned the family trade as a youth in Lebanon, and when he married his wife Anna, they combined their expertise—Anna specialized in women’s wear, Dumit in bespoke menswear—to provide full-service tailoring. They started working the day after their arrival in Peoria in 1956, despite the language barrier, and eventually opened their own shop on West Main Street. For nearly four decades, D. Ghantous Tailoring has operated out of a brick home on Clarewood Avenue near University Street, now proudly run by their daughter, Janet Salem.
