Print Poets Leases 9,000-Square-Foot Warehouse

Hilliker Corporation, a St. Louis owned and managed commercial real estate company, recently assisted a new printing company find the perfect St. Louis location for its growing business.

Print Poets, the printing division for The Home T, recently leased 8228 Brentwood Industrial Dr. The 9,000-square-foot warehouse will allow the company to house its printing and fulfillment services under one roof. The site was the former home of ProRehab Physical, Sports and Occupational Therapy.

Founded in 2012 by owner Ryan Shell, The Home T is an apparel company headquartered in New York. Shell, who appeared on the television show “Shark Tank” in 2014, turned down three of the show’s investor offers in order to run The Home T on his own. The company, which is known for soft apparel that combines the word “home” with the border of a state, donates a minimum of 10% profits to Multiple Sclerosis research.

“In addition to having key personnel already living in St. Louis, it’s an all-around fantastic community,” said The Home T and Print Poets’ owner Ryan Shell. “We are proud for it to be the home for Print Poets and look forward to contributing to local economic development.” Shell added there will eventually be 10 to 15 people potentially working out of this facility.

Hilliker Corporation’s Brendan O’Brien represented the tenant, The Home T, and Bo Keefer represented the landlord and his company, Hutkin Development Company.
