From the Golf Course to Mardi Gras Balls,
Price & Co. Has Coast Men Covered story by Cherie Ward photo by Madeline Romano
Life on the Gulf Coast can take a man
from the golf course to the boardroom
and then on to a black-tie event, and
Austin Price believes his wardrobe
should be ready for every stop along the
way.
That philosophy is at the core of Price
& Co., the Ocean Springs store Price
founded last fall as an extension of his
family’s longtime Hattiesburg business,
Randy Price & Co.
“We’re kind of a one-stop shop for
anything you need, whether you’re
heading to the golf course, going to
work, or heading out on the boat,” Price
said.
And when the occasion calls for
something more formal, such as Mardi
Gras celebrations, Price & Co. has that
covered, too.
The original store has been part of
Hattiesburg since 1983. Price grew up
around the clothing business and took
over in 2017. For years, friends in Ocean
Springs encouraged him to open a store
downtown.
When os1515 was developed, Price saw
his chance.
“I felt like that was going to be the
perfect spot for us,” he said.
The Ocean Springs location opened
during Cruisin’ the Coast week last
October, focusing specifically on
menswear. While the larger Hattiesburg
store sells both men’s and women’s
clothing, Price saw an opening on the
Coast for a store dedicated to men.
But clothes are only part of what he

aims to bring to Ocean Springs.
Price has intentionally kept the
Coast team small. He, Elise Davis,
and Phil Mulligan are the familiar
faces customers see, an approach Price
believes is key to building relationships.
“When a customer walks on the floor,
they’ll see a familiar face and recognize
who’s helping them,” he said.
For Price, that mix of experience
and familiarity lies at the heart of
what the company has been about for
over 40 years—customer service and
relationships.
