History of Made in Akron

Made in Akron opened in 2009 as a retail boutique in Highland Square to celebrate Akron's small businesses and local artists.

Sadly, the economic problems of the day limited our opportunities and we closed the store in 2010.

Made in Akron officially re-launched in November 2024 with a simple vision:

Help Akron's small businesses sell more branded merch.

In 2010, Jason Scala & friends stenciled the Made in Akron logo on the side of our first store. Here's the video of their epic achievement.

Our Company

Since 2019, our sister company Interswag has been providing print-on-demand and ecommerce fulfillment for international schools like Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), the Singapore American School and the American School in Paris, among others.

Made in Akron operates under the same exacting standards.
