Marquette, Mich. (population 21,532), on the shore of Lake Superior, is seven to eight hours from Chicago, Detroit and Minneapolis, and three-and-a-half from Green Bay. The 127-year-old Getzâs Clothiers, based in downtown Marquette, has been able to thrive in this remote location because of its online marketplace.
Robert âRockâ Getz, 62, grandson of founder Louis Getz, owns the business with his wife, Carol; their daughter Tina Young; and Rockâs cousin Richard Caden, 73.
