He studied merchandising at William Jewell College in the early 1920s before dropping out to work full-time in a Liberty haberdashery. Later, the store’s owner helped Henry land a position at the famed Woolf Brothers. In 1931, Henry went out on his own, opening a Plaza haberdashery that specialized in just hats and accessories. The shop expanded and moved on the Plaza several times before Henry sold the store to his largest supplier in the late 1960s. By the 1980s, Jack Henry stores were operating in area malls, as well as affiliated stores in Omaha and Wichita. But a decade later only the Plaza flagship store was still in operation. Arvanitakis and his brothers, George and Jerry, bought the shop in 1995 and 2001 moved it to a building they own at 612 W. 47th St. Jack Henry had special meaning for the family. When their father, Peter Arvan, emigrated to Kansas City from his native Greece, one of his first jobs was as a tailor at Jack Henry, where he said he received “invaluable” advice from the founder. Arvan later owned his store, the former Peter’s Clothiers in Overland Park. Jack Henry also expanded its offerings over the years, carrying such brands as Burberry, 7 for All Mankind, Diesel and Michael Kors, as well as custom orders.
