McMillan’s Big & Tall

McMillan’s Big & Tall was a clothing store specializing in large-sized men's clothes. The business was founded by former department store buyer Autrey McMillan.

It opened in August 1975 as one of the original tenants at the Century Plaza shopping mall. McMillan opened a second location at the Riverchase Galleria in 1986.

The original McMillan's relocated to Eastwood Mall, and later to the Eastwood Shopping Plaza shopping center at 7893 Crestwood Boulevard. That store closed in 2016 as that part of the center was demolished for redevelopment.

McMillan retired at the end of 2019 and closed his remaining store in the Galleria that December.
