    We love our PEC oval (because you do!)

    We love our PEC oval (because you do!)

    After two full seasons in Bloomfield, we spent our winter months reviewing our business journey so far, from our early expectations to our current outlook, and it has been quite a trip! As we head into our third season, we decided it was time to refresh our brand by embracing the identity that most people think of when they think of us: The PEC oval.

    You might not know this, but the PEC oval was the inspiration for our entire business. This idea, which we had hatched about three years earlier, became a key building block for our first wave of County inspired shirts. The car sticker was actually our first product, arriving a couple of weeks before the first tees, in the Fall of 2013.

    Since then our customers, you, have embraced this design, and have worn it proudly around the world. We continue to find unique ways to apply this iconic design on our products (including some really great new shirts arriving in early Spring!), and it really has come to represent our business.

    For all of those reasons, we have embraced the oval, which from this point on will not only be your favorite t-shirt design but our business' official logo. We know this will help people find us better, and to better identify our business from the shirts they see all over. New signage is headed for the store, and all web properties will start to reflect the changes shortly.

    Did I mention new shirts and Maple in the County? Stay tuned, lots coming for this season. 

    Welcome Spring!

    A Call for Vendors

     

    CALL FOR VENDORS

    The Prince Edward County T-shirt Company is offering four vendor spaces in our rear courtyard for the 2015 summer season. This prime outdoor vending space will allow eligible vendors an opportunity to build off the successful retail traffic at our store, and on Main Street in Bloomfield, throughout the peak season. 

    We are looking for artisans, craftspeople, and other vendors whose wares will compliment our current retail offerings, while giving our customers a wider range of shopping options. We intend to select applicants who we believe will be successful, based on our customer profile.

    We will promote our vendors alongside our daily social media updates, providing day-to-day information for our fan base on when your business is present. 

    The seasonal vendor rate is $450, which allows you to set-up any time the t-shirt store is open, which is most days during the peak season, May 16 - Sept 7, 2015. A week-end (plus holiday Mondays) rate is also available for $275.  Vendor space allows for up to an 8’ table and patio umbrella. This weather permitting space cannot accommodate tents. 

    Interested vendors should apply to lucinda@countytshirts.com by midnight Monday, May 4 with the following information:

    Name, Address, email, phone number, name of business, product type, bio, website, facebook page, instagram, twitter etc, 5 images of your products.

    Applications are juried and will be notified by May 8th.  

    Looking forward to a fun Courtyard Market season!

    County Summer 2014: A Thank You!

    Labour Day came and went, and all you wonderful people went with it! Well not all, of course. But it was a much quieter week in Bloomfield than we had seen in months. So many great things happening throughout the late summer and fall, and we'll be here. But before we have a big sale, and then launch our Fall/Winter Collection, we want to offer up a simple but sincere, Thank you. Our first summer exceeded our expectations and we are truly touched by the way you all responded to our shirts and other items. So much more to follow, but for now, again, Thank you.
