I worked at the local store for 16 years, loved working with all sorts of customers and people. Learned management skills and inventory. I left there and went to work as a production manager at Midwest Embroidery and learned the embroidery skills and how to run production in a smooth manner. That is when I decided to start my own business in 2001. I left and opened Embassy Embroidery, LLC. At first it was just me and a couple weeks later we added our first employee. I went out on the road selling to potential customers. My wife and I work together now with 10 employees and have grown the business into a very successful place of business, we love helping customers with their promotional needs as well as the decorating of wearables! We continue to learn and grow with the changing times.
