[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1545594, member: 2886"] Yes; I remember the addition of the second floor. It happened IIRC as I was leaving campus in 1990 and I certainly recall shopping up there when I returned to visit friends and attend football games in '90 and '91. Your place was sandwiched between the old IUB store and Garcia's, wasn't it? I still have a Champion reverse-weave sweatshirt that I bought in your store in late 1987 when I was a senior. I've worn it for 33 years now. When I saw Ayo and the boys take down Maryland in Madison Square Garden in Jan. 2019 I wore it (and an orange Chief t-shirt underneath that I rocked when the arena got warm.) One of the Illini fans approached me after the game (I'd been sitting the whole game in the MD section with a friend who's an alum) and asked me where I'd bought it. When I told him "TeShurt in the late '80s" he laughed and said "that store was classic." I'm impressed that your store survived all those years given TIS (it opened in '90 as I recall) around the corner and other competition. IMO you a strong brand and a reputation of being [I]the [/I]place to get Illini gear and specialty stuff. All the best to you and your family. [/QUOTE]
