Mobley & Sons
When Hunt Mobley, pictured above right, with Kevin Nelson, came to work at Mobley & Sons men’s store in Crestline, he became a third-generation haberdasher at a store that has been in business for more than 30 years. Mobley & Sons of Birmingham was opened in 1977 by Hunt’s father, Reggie Mobley, who ran the store until 1983. That year, Reggie’s father, CD Mobley, took over the store from his son and ran a successful business for a number of years. After graduating in business from the University of Alabama in 2005, Hunt decided to learn the retail business from his grandfather. After a three year apprenticeship, CD turned over the reigns to Hunt completely in 2008.
