Edith’s Bridal and Tuxedo Junction has been purchased by Dave and Vicki Schmidt of Fond du Lac. Previous owners Tom and Cathy Deitte retired.
Having grown up in Dotyville, Dave Schmidt recognized Edith’s as a cornerstone business in Fond du Lac having been established in 1937.
Edith’s will soon relocate from 9 S. Main St. to 36 N. Main St. — the former Wood’s Floral building — where renovations are currently underway. Painting and flooring are in progress, with plans to begin moving inventory the week after Christmas. The goal is to reopen as Edith’s Formal Wear in January 2026.
Dave and Vicki’s son, currently working at Edith’s through the Youth Apprenticeship Program, will continue to assist, and some of the existing staff members are expected to remain. New inventory will be added as part of the transition.
Meanwhile, the current Edith’s location was recently purchased by developer Sam Meyer, is slated for extensive renovation — including ten apartments and a new first-floor commercial tenant.
