He is not going to like the way this looks. I guarantee it. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/06/19/mens-wearhouse-founder-chairman-george-zimmer/2437493/ Zimmer, the founder, chairman and the public face of the discount apparel chain, has been terminated by the company, according to a brief statement from the company. Men's Wearhouse gave no reason for Zimmer's departure -- which surfaced on Wednesday, just hours before the company postponed its annual shareholders meeting. A company spokesman declined comment but said Zimmer's departure would not affect operations. |

Seymour LLC, a medical cannabis provider, DBA Oaksterdam University, a cannabis educator with support from George Zimmer."That's a shame. Love that guy. I wouldn't feel too bad though, Roger; Zimmer earned nearly $2 million last year in pay, bonuses and other compensation. Men's Wearhouse will owe Zimmer $250,000 annually for four years under a licensing deal for his image in advertising and marketing efforts, according to the proxy. He's also due termination pay and benefits valued at about $2.7 million. |

Do you know that he was suspended from school, AND he had marijuana in his system? He might have broken into somebody's house, even though there is zero evidence of it. We can't take chances.

[quote="Quote"]- He began his company in Texas by using an old cigar box as a cash register[quote] I'm told that when Rocky Wirtz found this out, he demanded Zimmer be fired immediately. |
