Welcome to our story.
From an early age, both Hogan and I had a passion for entrepreneurship. Coming from families full of business owners, we both knew that this was something we wanted to get into, just didn’t know in which capacity. We decided to continue our education in business at the collegiate level, and shortly after, we came up with an idea.
The Palm Locals was originally an idea for a club at our alma mater, Palm Beach Atlantic University. We had started designing shirts to give away and realized that we really enjoyed the process. From there we decided to try and sell a few. We ended up selling a good amount of products and had actually received a few custom orders for us to design. That’s when we started to run with the idea of creating custom merchandise. Something that had obviously been done before, but seemed to be outdated in its approach. Fast forward to today, we have been fortunate enough to have worked with anyone from luxury hotels to public universities, to private yachts. In our few years open, we have produced over 100,000 garments through our in-house screen printing and embroidery services. While consistently growing, we have added in-house graphic design to our services, allowing customers to receive a hands-on approach to the design and branding of their business or personal ventures. Our goal has always been to help our clients create products that they are proud to wear.
We now specialize not only in the printing of materials but take on a more boutique branding approach to your business. The best way to showcase professionalism and legitimacy in your business is by creating curated products and visual graphics that fit your needs as a business owner.
We would love to work alongside you and make your vision come to life.
Your owners,
Christopher Pappas and Hogan McFadden
