The Foursome has been a part of the Wayzata Community for 80 years. It started as a little shop in Wayzata then grew to five different retail operations at the Wayzata Bay Center . . . men’s clothing, men’s big ‘n tall clothing, women’s clothing, children’s clothing, and men’s/women’s shoes.  The Foursome wanted to stay in Wayzata but God had other plans for the Engel family.  Through a lot of prayer the Engel family opened The Foursome in a new location in Plymouth on the corner of Vicksburg and Highway 55.   Gordy Engel learned perseverance through playing sports as a child.  He played football for Wayzata High School.  Though he didn't have much playing time in high school he decided go out for his college football team at Gustavus Adolphus College.  He ended up starting his senior year.  The lessons he learned playing sports carried over to his business and coaching career.  The Engel family is an uncommon family.  They are a third generation family owned business, they decide business direction as a family, and they have faced the unthinkable and have shown the world what forgiveness and grace look like in the midst of tragedy.
