Max Formal Co is a wonderful hidden gem in Providence, full of unique textiles and vintage styles. Furthermore, Paul and Debbie, who own the business and rent out the apartments next door, are beacons in the community and amazing at what they do. I've lived in one of their apartments for the past two years and whenever there's been even the smallest issue, Paul has jumped in right away with a solution. He always makes himself available to help someone who is struggling. Paul and Debbie are the type of genuine people you don't always get lucky enough to come by, and I cannot recommend them and their business enough.

Speaking as a customer on the services Max Formal Co. provides, and not as a tenant in a rental unit, Max Formal is a great company to deal with. Their customer service is beyond reproach and they have been a lifesaver for me and my business needs. If you are in need of a good source of the products Max Formal provides, they are recommended above all others in the business.

Woman at the register short changed me and then proceeded to change the price to match the cash I paid. Not good business practices. Unfortunate, because they have a decent selection of dickies. I will not be going back.

I lived in one of the apartment buildings right next to his shop for a year. Paul and his wife were very friendly and sparked up a conversation whenever we crossed paths. He was very quick to respond whenever we had issues or concerns and always sent someone quickly to fix any issues. He did like to be informed of guest vehicles staying the night which was reasonable and done in a professional way. The apartment building needs to be updated (some of the others are) but you won't find anything else downtown for the price. I would recommend renting his apartments.

This is a wonderful store, and Paul is wonderful to talk to and very helpful when looking through the contents of the store. Probably the only place in Rhode Island to get brand new vintage work wear dating back to the 70's. If you wear Carhartt or Dickies then this is the place to go and support a local business!

Hi, my name is Jamal Russell a alumni at johnson and wales university. I am writing this email to inform you that if you have any students that will reside on north main st and are under the landlord paul formal of max formal that they are extremely bad landlords and should not be rented from. They have continuously screwd over me and my roomate and also three other jwu alumni while living there. Lieing, not fixing appliances, non professional handymen who break the appliances even more, security deposit scams, and more. I would like my fellow wildcats to live in peace and enjoy there school year Sincerely jamal russell PLEASE DO NOT RENT HERE!!!!!!!!!! 0 STARS

The owners of Max formal Paul and Debby Formal also own the two houses next to the business. They initially come off as a happy elder couple, but in reality they both are just evil petty, vindictive individuals. I have lived at 1172 north main street for 3 years a building that Paul and Debby own and they have been nothing but a pain. They will harass you when you have a friend come over, they are nosey people who are slum lords. They prey on college kids and internationals who are looking for a place, they will never give you your money back for your security deposit regardless of how clean the apartment is. Paul will manipulate your words, he even has called the police on my roommate just because they were having a verbal disagreement. Be careful when you purchase items from max formal, the products are cheap quality, and they have had bug problems In the past. I have tried for 3 years now to be a civil person with Paul but he has threatened to evict me, call the police on me, and he has even entered our apartment without our permission on numerous occasions. If I could give negative stars I would that's how bad my experience has been. Only reason I stuck around for as long as I did was due to me being in college and the rent was very cheap. For all Johnson and Wales students stay far from this place, and for everyone else who this concerns please be watchful of this devious person

Paul and Debby Formal are the worst landlords in Providence. They do not care about anyone but their selves. They believe that they are the best and everyone loves them PLEASE do not fall for it. They do not return deposits back despite the fact that you made the apartment better than what it was. They intrude in the house and look through your items with out you even knowing. Paul and Debby also walk around the house and try to look through the windows just to see what you are doing. There was a time where I did not want to open the door for Paul because I just woke up and he used his spare key to open the door and I had to close it because I felt uncomfortable. Please what ever you do don't live at this place. He also have rodent problems and blames it on everyone else but hisself. It is not worth living at keep your sanity by just not going.

Amazing service. The owner walked us through the shop and showed us some great quality items for a fraction of the price most retailers would have charged. If you want quality products for spectacular prices with service that will leave you in awe this is the place to go. 5 stars amazing work! :)
