Mordy Babayev The Suit Depot
Babayovâs entrepreneurial spirit emerged long before opening The Suit Depot. While still in high school, the New York-native obtained designer clothing from relatives, bought off the clearance rack of local discount stores and listed the apparel on eBay.

Because of the demands of a quickly growing business, Babayov moved the company out of his bedroom and into his parentâs basement and then, eventually, to his first warehouse.
At a time when retailers are closing their brick-and-mortar storefronts and moving their businesses online, Marty Babayov is bucking the trend. The 24-year-old entrepreneur is taking his successful online business, The Suit Depot, to a storefront.The Suit Depot has since become a $2-million-a-year enterprise with a strong e-commerce presence that offers designer name fashions by top designers including Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Alfani RED, Giorgio Armani, Elie Tahari and Ralph Lauren.
