History
The original creation of MarkIt Merchandise was back in 1987. We started small, so small in fact, that our original facility was actually one of those original Soda Shoppe Pharmacies. 2006 was the year that most of our current team took the reins of this gem of a company, and set our current direction and growth. With continued personalized customer service, some of the best quality in our industry, and with the latest advancements in process and technology, MarkIt Merchandise has expanded every year since and continues to do so. As the demand for our personalized service rose, so did the need for more space. We no longer could continue in our meager black and white tiled 1,200 square foot space. We are now on our third expansion since the soda shoppe days. Efficient space transformation is rooted in our DNA, and therefore we are ever expanding. Our progression from an unknown business to a flourishing “boutique” of sorts would not have happened without the help of our loyal clients. All of our Screen Print and Embroidery is completed in-house, allowing for more control over production costs, quality, and critical timing. MarkIt Merchandise’s ability to provide impeccable quality with quick product turnaround has been our commitment from our incredible team to our clients.
