Owner told me they only sell a couple per year. The convenience store up the street from my house (urban area) has some Texas Longhorns shirts on sale for $10. The shirts appear to be major brands (lots of Gildans.) I have been told they are imported from Mexico. Some local themes, lots of (theoretically?) licensed characters and sports teams. I know that throughout the South, at least, convenience stores along interstates typically sell shirts for about $5. and I shared it with you.Ĭlick to expand.Like real estate, much of it is location, location, location. Just a random thought that went thru my head reading your thread. Spring boarding off of that idea - gas stations near camping areas, state parks, water parks, rafting, paintball, blah, blah, blah, well, situations where people end up needing clothes they didn't expect to, and the town or county name on it, might be a good partnership. I've had plenty of beloved tees that I loved way more for the story behind it, rather than the tee shirt itself. It would go along with the retelling of my story of my shirt, too. If I am in a gas station and buying a tee shirt, it's because I "need" one - not because I am out clothes shopping.Ī shirt with the town name on it would strike me as cool, bc when I wear it, I would remember where I was and why I needed that shirt. The weird thing is, I would pass by a shirt that had a dragon on it, but for some weird reason, in a gas station, be much more likely to pick up a $10 tee shirt that had the name of the town on it.ĭunno why, but it's a fact. ![]() Henry, I think your gut feeling of $10 is right about on, imo.

For example, I"m a fisherman and I routinely buy clothing and hats with names of companies on them, sometimes at a premium because they cool looking and you have the "prestige" of "name brand" clothing. I'm not certain what truckers like, but I imagine you might want to sell designs geared to their employment. pilot store, then you can focus your designs on that particular group and charge a premium for that. However, if the gas stations your selling is one geared towards truckers for example, i.e. Frankly, I probably wouldn't buy a shirt at a convenience store unless it was some sort of touristy shirt advertising a local festival or things of that nature. To answer your question, if I was to go to 7-11 or similar store, I wouldn't expect to pay more than $10 a shirt. I'm not sure what type of gas stations you're geared at. I am willing to pay more for a better design. ![]() ![]() I'm not going to pay 15 or 20 bucks for a tshirt with a generic design anyone could make with transfers from Wal-Mart and an iron.
