Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More Leaps into St. Petersburg

Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More® is opening in St. Petersburg, situated at 1018 Central Avenue.

St. Petersburg, Fla. –Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More®, a locally-owned, high-technology garment decorating franchise where customers have the freedom to design their own apparel, is opening in St. Petersburg, situated at 1018 Central Avenue.

The new Big Frog location is owned and operated by local residents Sean and Danette Mulligan. Sean is no stranger to the franchising industry, having previously worked for a marketing services firm that worked directly with Big Frog. After creating and selling his own advertising and marketing firm, Sean began the search for an opportunity to own a local business that would allow him to be more involved in the community. Knowing what a great resource Big Frog was for local schools, sports teams, businesses, and charitable organizations, Sean and his wife Danette, a nurse of nearly 20 years, decided to make the leap and open their own Big Frog store.

Big Frog combines creativity with cutting-edge technology and brings a personalized service to local markets. The unique design technology makes it a fast, individualized and convenient service that leaps beyond competition. The brand’s Direct to Garment (DTG) printing bonds the ink to the fabric’s molecules allowing products to be washed in both hot and cold water and with color-safe bleaching without risking damage, crack or peel to the image.

“We are beyond excited to add our spark of creativity to the St. Petersburg community with the opening of our first Big Frog,” said Sean. “Our main objective is to build lasting relationships through exceptional service, value and ingenuity.”

Since opening its first franchised location in 2009, Big Frog has grown exponentially. With more than 80 locations open in 24 states and nine locations in different stages of development, the retailer plans to add 18-22 new franchise locations in 2017 through strategic franchise partnerships, bringing the total number of franchises awarded to over 100. As the $50 billion garment decorating industry continues to grow, Dr. Tina Bacon-DeFrece, president of Big Frog, believes that North America will soon be home to hundreds of Big Frog stores.
