MEQUON, WI (MAY 2014) – Campus
Colors, Chicagoland’s
top collegiate and sportswear retailer, has opened its first Wisconsin location
at Mequon Pavilions, 10906
N. Port Washington Road, in
Mequon. Outfitting kids, grads and dads
from head to toe, and dorm room to classroom for the past 23 years, the
family-owned business is thrilled to add this fifth location to its portfolio, including Chicago’s Water Tower Place, Downtown
Highland Park, Hinsdale, and Kildeer, IL.
“Our success is not only in the products we sell, but being a true member of
every community we open, and knowing our clientele, their family’s favorite
teams, and alma maters,” says Jon Rubenstein, second generation to the Campus
Colors family. “We have identified Mequon as a close-knit suburban community very
similar to our Illinois locations, and we are looking forward to laying our
Wisconsin roots there.”

child off to college, or looking for the perfect graduation, birthday, or baby

ABOUT CAMPUS COLORS
It all began in the summer of 1989. While driving back from
vacation, Neil Rubenstein's two sons wanted to stop in Ann Arbor, MI to get
official sweatshirts and football jerseys from the University of Michigan. An
hour later with $250 worth of newly acquired sweatshirts, t-shirts, shorts and
jerseys packed into the trunk of the car the family returned to the road to
finish the drive back to suburban Chicago. While on the drive, Neil thought to
himself, "If my kids want this stuff so bad that I have to drive an hour
out of our way, there have got to be more kids like mine and more parents
willing to do the same." It was at that time that the idea for Campus
Colors was born.
Campus Colors was started in 1991 with the premise of bringing
authentic college bookstore merchandise to suburban Chicago. The idea was
simple: rather than travel to your favorite college to get merchandise to support
your favorite school, Campus Colors would bring the merchandise of the school
to you. What started out as a small retail store free standing commercial
building that resembled a fraternity house on a college campus, Campus Colors
has grown into a family run chain with locations throughout the Chicagoland
area and now Mequon, WI. With the addition of Pro Colors, Campus Colors is able
to offer favorite pro team merchandise too.
Campus Colors
has four locations in Illinois: Chicago’s Water Tower Place, Downtown Highland
Park, Hinsdale, and Kildeer, and one in Wisconsin: Mequon. For more
