Stitches R Us Inc

What Stitches R Us Inc does

Stitches R Us Inc. is a privately held custom embroidery and apparel decoration business operating from a single retail storefront at 1 West Main Street, Reinholds, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2002 as a home-based operation and incorporated under its current corporate name in 2010, the company began with one embroidery machine and has since accumulated multiple commercial embroidery machines and several heat presses. It serves two customer segments: local businesses needing branded apparel for uniforms, teams, and promotional merchandise, and individual consumers purchasing personalized embroidered or printed items and gifts.

The company's production stack is physical rather than digital: commercial embroidery machines produce customized designs on apparel and merchandise, while heat press equipment handles printed apparel and complementary decoration. A niche line of personalized embroiderable plush items extends the catalog. Customer-facing design inspiration is delivered through partnerships with Dakota Collectibles (embroidery designs), EasyPrint templates, and Isacord thread charts, surfaced via digital catalogs — most recently a Spring 2026 New Arrivals publication — hosted on the Zoomcatalog viewer. There is no proprietary software, mobile application, or API surface.

Stitches R Us operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market with quote-based, custom-order pricing and explicitly no minimum order requirement. Distribution is local and regional, delivered through walk-in retail, by-appointment consultations, curbside pickup, and shipping. Marketing is organic, centered on the company website, an active Facebook page used for hours and engagement updates, and seasonal digital catalog drops. The company is founder-owned, discloses no revenue, no external funding, no institutional backing, no parent or subsidiary relationships, and no patents, certifications, or partnerships beyond the design-licensing arrangements used to populate its catalogs.
