Garak's Clothiers

Garak's Clothiers, address 02-485, was a shop located on Deep Space 9's Promenade. It was owned and operated by Elim Garak. He established it after he was exiled from the Cardassian Union.

The shop was the site of many clandestine activities. Shortly after the Federation's takeover of Deep Space 9, Garak "invited" Doctor Julian Bashir to try on several outfits. Bashir subsequently overheard Lursa and B'Etor discuss plans for handing over terrorist Tahna Los to the Cardassians, double-crossing Tahna. 

In 2371, Garak destroyed his shop to stop a Flaxian assassin, Retaya, from killing him. Garak rebuilt the shop a short time after the assassination attempt, thwarting Quark's attempt to turn the space into a massage parlor. 

Just prior to the Federation-Klingon War (2372-73), Garak was assaulted inside his shop by Klingon soldiers. He claimed that he "got off several cutting remarks, which no doubt did serious damage to their egos." 

Upon learning that the Romulan shuttle carrying Senator Vreenak had been destroyed, Captain Sisko, realising that Garak had arranged this so the Romulans would enter the war against the Dominion, immediately made his way to Garak's shop to confront him. Garak was punched in the face twice during this confrontation. 

Garak also met with station counselor Ezri Dax after suffering repeated bouts of claustrophobia.
