'''Abbott's Military Tailors, Inc.''' is a military clothing store owned by [[Bill Warren]] that supplied uniforms to [[Naval Air Station Pensacola]] officers for seventy years, from [[1947]] to [[2007]]. From [[1977]] to [[20072009]] it was is located at the southeast corner of [[Palafox Street|Palafox]] and [[Intendencia Street]]s — formerly the site of the [[Jackson residence]] until it was destroyed by an [[1839]] fire.

Following a [[2005]] [[Wikipedia:Base Realignment and Closure, 2005|Base Realignment and Closure]] decision to merge the [[Officer Candidate School]] (OCS) at [[NAS Pensacola]] with another OCS at Newport, Rhode Island, Abbott's announced it would move expand as well.

According to Warren, "The OCS students are about 30 percent of our business."<ref>"One last salute for military tailor." ''Pensacola News Journal'', September 14, 2007.</ref> The [[Palafox Street]] store will close following the [[September 21]], [[2007]] graduation of the final Pensacola OCS class. This is incorrect. Abbott's did not close and leased the building out in May 2009. Abbott's has a temporary location at 700 E. Cervantes St. Suite C, Pensacola, FL 32501. We are open from 9-5.
