Company History

Embroidery has been around for hundreds of years, but until EmbroidMe, it was difficult to find a store that could handle all your custom embroidery, screen printing, and promotional product needs. In addition it was hard to find one that could do so personally, professionally, and punctually. This reality intrigued franchising veteran Ray Titus, who realized that the $20 billion embroidery industry could use some of the same expertise and initiative he had already applied to building SIGNARAMA, the world's largest sign franchise with over 700 locations in 37 countries.

In 2000, Ray Titus opened the first EmbroidMe store in West Palm Beach, Florida, a full-service showroom that combined a wide variety of apparel and promotional items. It was an immediate success.

Since then, EmbroidMe has helped more than 400 people open franchise stores making it possible for thousands of groups and businesses to easily and cost-effectively get the customized apparel they need on either a local, national, or global level.

Today, EmbroidMe stores have become the brand name people trust for quality embroidery and customized specialty products, not to mention a reliable way people can get in on the ground floor of an exciting new business concept.
