History
Established in 1968.
If longevity is a sign of success, then Gary Brown (owner), Surf & Ski, Mesa, Arizona, is the most successful printer in his area and maybe the entire state. Celebrating his 43rd year anniversary in October 2011, he’s outlasted the hundreds of shops he’s seen come and go.
«When we started, there were three T-shirt printers in town,» he says. «(Starting a screen printing operation) is not as easy as it appears. Most of them do not last.»
Brown has always provided the same high level of customer service, but he hasn’t always provided the level of quality that he does today.
«Back in 1968, a friend came to me with a proposal to buy a screen printing business that was available for $ 2,000,» he says. «It consisted of 80 screens, two tables and 5-x-5 foot drying racks made out of chicken wire. All the inks were air dry.»
Aside from the longevity of the business itself; Surf & Ski is housed in an historic building with a rich history of it’s own. Our facility is over 100 years old!
