Custom Ink adds seven new retail locations in Northern Virginia

Online custom apparel company Custom Ink said Monday it has opened seven new locations in Northern Virginia. The Fairfax County-based firm also announced plans to open a new store in Alexandria this summer.

The stores will allow customers to get advice and design assistance in creating custom apparel, as well as the ability to see, touch, and compare clothing options.

A new standalone store at 11130-I South Lakes Drive in Reston also will offer in-store, same-day digital printing for select products. The upcoming Alexandria store will be a standalone shop.

The other six locations — in Gainesville, Leesburg, Manassas, Sterling, Springfield, and Woodbridge — are located in Michaels’ arts and crafts stores.

“Both of our companies are known for helping customers turn their creative visions into personalized art and products, and Custom Ink’s new spaces in six of our Virginia stores will offer an easy and innovative way to discover and create custom clothing and accessories,” Steve Carlotti, the company’s executive vice president of marketing, said in a statement.

The new locations join Custom Ink’s existing stores in Charlottesville, Fairfax, Fredericksburg and Richmond, as well as other locations in Texas and Nevada.
