If you have an ironic phrase that is simply dying to get on tee shirt or sweatshirt T-Shirt Studio which just opened up on 3037 W. Cary St. could be the perfect solution. Richmond BizSense.com has the details on Kamran Shaikh new shop.

Stock designs can be pressed in minutes, simple custom designs can be pressed within a few hours and more complicated custom designs can take up to two weeks.

Shaikh said he was persuaded to move to Richmond because of “the student population and weather and attraction of Carytown as a business district.”

He launched his first store in 2007 in an upstate New York town called Horseheads. Shaikh previously worked for T-Shirt Express in Ithaca, N.Y., for about seven years.

“Once I had enough experience and some capital in place … I decided I wanted to do my own business,” Shaikh said.

In 2009, he started researching the markets in Austin, Philadelphia, Boston and Charlottesville, before eventually deciding to move to Richmond.

A simple design on a shirt will set you back about $20 while a hooded sweatshirt will cost you in the $35 neighborhood.
