Underground Printing Relocates to New Location in Champaign

Underground Printing, a custom screenprinted and embroidered apparel company, has recently relocated its store in Champaign to a new, larger space. The new store, located at 502 E. John St, Suite 102 in the Johnstown shopping plaza next to Fat Sandwich, will continue to offer unparalleled customer service, quick turnaround, low prices, and technology to make getting top quality custom printed apparel affordable and easy. In addition to their custom printing services, the new Underground Printing store in Champaign carries a full line of officially licensed Illinois apparel, but with a unique approach that will quickly set the apparel maker apart from the bookstores and other campus apparel providers.

Looking to stand out in a competitive market, Underground Printing will bring a number of unique features to the Illinois apparel market. The company has shirked the conventions of the traditional, boxy bookstore t-shirt, opting for better fits, softer materials, and brands that appeal to the college market. "We'll be carrying a lot of fitted and hip styles from brands like American Apparel and generally keeping things fresh with short run designs that can be responsive to the climate on campus," said co-owner Ryan Gregg. The company hopes to use this ability to speed product to their shelves in a matter of days to bring a fresh way of thinking about collegiate apparel. "While a few designs will always be classic, we don't think students should still have the same boring options for designs and styles when they are Seniors that they did when they were Freshmen," said Gregg.

In addition to the physical store location, customers can also shop online at www.ugpillinoisapparel.com. Underground Printing co-owner Rishi Narayan remarks, "So many of our customers have become accustomed to our great products and service while they are on campus, and we want to continue to serve them as they become alumni and move out into the world at large. Now they can pick up great U of I gear no matter where they are, with the convenience of online shopping."

The original store had been located behind Insomnia Cookies, also in the Johnstown center. The move has made Underground Printing more visible and accessible to the students on campus.

Underground Printing is located at 502 E. John St, Ste 102, next to Fat Sandwich in the Johnstown shopping plaza. The store is open 10a-7p Monday-Friday and 11a-6p Saturday and Sunday.
