LINCOLN SQUARE — While the rest of Chicago erupted in celebration over the Cubs first World Series title in 108 years, Shirts Our Business got to work.
The screen printing shop at 4949 N. Western Ave. started cranking out championship gear in the wee hours of the morning. The shirts are destined for retailers including Clark Street Sports, Lids, Nordstrom, Sports World, Von Maur and RedJacketClothing.com.
Anywhere from 300 to 800 shirts can be printed in an hour, owner Ron Weiss told DNAinfo.com.
According to Brandon Weiss, Ron's son, more than 10,000 Cubs shirts have already rolled off the presses.
"We have an awesome team here that worked through the night so all the fans could get their shirts. We could not do it without their hard work," the younger Weiss said via email.
The shop has its championship drill down to a science, having printed shirts to commemorate Bulls and Blackhawks victories.
