  T Galaxy Retail

  • Okoboji, Iowa, United States

  • Owner

    • Feb 2017 - Feb 2019
    • Okoboji, Iowa, United States

    T-Galaxy marked the onset of my career journey at the tender age of 7 and remained a cherished family venture for over two decades. Our dedicated design team crafted all designs in-house, catering to clients such as Iowa State University, Pizza Ranch, Iowa Special Olympics, Iowa Games and many more. With a focus on quality, all screen-printing and embroidery tasks were handled in-house, serving both external clientele and our retail outlets across Iowa City, Cedar Falls, Ames, Okoboji, and Boulder, CO. Following the divestment of our manufacturing division and the closure of all retail branches except Okoboji, I took over ownership of this remaining location from the family. Eventually, I sold off the remaining location to our steadfast Store Manager, who, alongside her daughter, continues to uphold its legacy today.
