Custom Ink To Open MD's First Brick-And-Mortar Store In Bethesda

BETHESDA, MD — Custom Ink, the popular online custom t-shirt maker, is coming to Bethesda Row at the end of June. This will be the company's first brick-and-mortar showroom in the state, according to an official familiar with the project.

The 1,167-square-foot space will be located at 7029 Arlington Rd. — right by Sweetgreen, the Apple store, and Uncle Julio's Mexican restaurant. The store is scheduled to hold a grand opening event on Aug. 1.

At Bethesda's Custom Ink location, shoppers can meet with a representative to discuss design ideas and choose from a curated selection of customizable products including t-shirts, hats, bags, and office supplies.

"From the concertgoers at The Strathmore to boosters of the BCC Barons, from the hotel hosts at Marriott to the feline fans of Alley Cat Allies, Bethesda is built around community," said Bailey Rockwell Adrian, director of Licensing and Partnership Development for Custom Ink. "Custom Ink believes that every group can unite its members through the power of custom apparel, and we're delighted to open our first showroom in Maryland to help build that community bond."

Custom Ink has additional locations in New Jersey Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. The Bethesda Row showroom will be the company's 20th location.
