History edit
Queensboro Shirt Company was founded by Fred Meyers in New York in the late 1970s as a hobby when he was a college student.[7][8][9]
In 1995, Queensboro moved its headquarters to Wilmington, North Carolina.[7][10]
In August 2010, Queensboro received an order for 9,000 embroidered shirts and hats from Chief John Nwodo in Enugu, Nigeria, in preparation for the city's 100th-anniversary celebration.[11] Given the size of the order, the company requested phone verification and upfront payment through a certified check.[11] Once the payment was confirmed, Queensboro quickly processed the order and dispatched it by December 16, marking their first-ever shipment to Africa.[11]
In November 2010, Queensboro introduced "Zap Tee," an iPhone application that allows users to select or upload images for shirt printing and embroidery.[3] Once an image is chosen, the order is sent to Queensboro for processing and shipment.[3]
Operations edit
Queensboro's operations are housed in a renovated 100,000-square-foot building on 13th Street, originally from the 1950s.[12]
In Dallas they operate out of a 40,000 industrial building in the Farmer’s Branch neighborhood.
