Rhoda & Glenn Reeves

An inspiring story of how Rhoda's hobby turned into a business.


 
Rhoda & Glenn Reeves

 The year was 1981 and Rhoda, as Den mother of her daughter's girl scout troop, decided printing t-shirts for the troop, would make a great activity project. Several months and a few projects for other girl scout troops later, Rhoda found herself in the screen printing business.
With a passion for excellence and creativity, Rhoda threw herself into this new found business. 

Within a few years, the business grew to the point, she needed help and this is where her husband Glenn, a Sear's store manager for 35 years, enters the business.
