Business Plan
We upgraded to an auto screen print shop from doing it manual so our goal is to become successful to get it to its full potential in terms of growth. We want to keep shop busy and with doing that it will allow us to provide opportunity for other to work, learn and grow. We see ourselves becoming one of the bigger shops in Washington in the next 5 years and excited. Investors should invest because our continued growth. We started in a house in 2014, 2016 moved into an actual store front, Then was able to move again in 2018 to another store front closer in the city. 2020 during Covid we had the opportunity purchase and upgrade to our current shop and have a lot growth that we can do to keep our success going.

Self Identified Competition
Midnight supply co 253 customtees Seventh and pacific I think what makes us different from our competitors is that we are black owned but have very diverse team even tho we are very small. I feel because we have our own clothing lines that we also sell that it helps us pay attention to details more because we want to sell high quality merch. We want that same detail for our clients. We also do alot of professional design work in house which I feel our competitors don't offer those services. Also feel like us being the only big shop in Federal Way we don't have much competition in that surrounding area compared to Tacoma and Seattle
