Today we’d like to introduce you to Christopher Pappas.
Hi Christopher, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I always knew I wanted to own my own business. The creative process has always pushed me to continuously innovate and create better ways to accomplish everyday tasks. When I started this business with my partner, we truly had no idea what we were getting into. We got into college and wanted to start a locals club where we would take the newer students to all of our favorite local beaches, restaurants, bike trails, etc. From then we started to design our shirts for the club and realized that it was a lot of fun and that a lot of people loved the designs. This is where The Palm Locals was born.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No, it has not been a smooth road. There have been so many moments of doubt. I think this comes with any working business, but it is in these specific moments where I have learned so much. Time management and prioritizing my physical health is something that I have had to learn. It has truly improved every aspect of my life. Managing a team at twenty-one years old is an interesting task, but something I am so incredibly grateful for. Every day, I make it an effort to learn something new about my business.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
We specialize in Custom Screen Printing and Embroidery. We are a complete one stop shop, meaning we have a team of graphic designers that can curate an exact look for you or your business. We like to be part of the design process and perfect the printing process.
How do you define success?
Success is not a number or a specific place more than it is a respect level.
