College Hype expands with new Weymouth, MA location; second location to expand company's screen- printing capabilities

Thirty year old company headquartered in Dorchester, MA (Boston) expands to meet growing demand for products and services

Weymouth is a big investment for us. This allows us to significantly expand our production and concentrate on screen-printing.”
— Jack Doherty

WEYMOUTH, MA, USA, February 18, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- College Hype (http://collegehype.com), a leading company providing screen-printed and embroidered apparel to businesses and organizations throughout the region, today announced the opening of a second location.

With the acquisition of a two-story, 15,000-square-foot facility at 54 Mathewson Drive in Weymouth, College Hype will significantly expand its printing and production capacity of both screen-printed and embroidered apparel as a result of the new South Shore location.

Doherty said, “We are a Dorchester company and our flagship location there on Gallivan Boulevard continues to expand, and it is also home to our retail store operation.” He continued, “Increasingly, we have been serving the South Shore market in addition to our greater Boston clients. When we found that we were outgrowing our existing space, it made sense to us to look at this South Shore market.”

Doherty said that College Hype has invested nearly $200,000 in additional screen-printing presses, and another $100,000 to retrofit the building that they purchased. “Weymouth is a big investment for us,” he said, adding, “This allows us to significantly expand our production, and concentrate on screen-printing in even bigger quantities in Weymouth, while increasing our embroidery capabilities at our Dorchester location.”

He said, “In the very short time that we have been open, we have received a very warm welcome from the community. We’re excited to undertake this expansion and look forward to being a part of the South Shore community.”

College Hype employs 25 people between its two locations. He said that the Weymouth location has 10 staff members at present, and they are planning to increase that number in the near future. “We’re hiring,” he said, adding, “Business is great and we’re always on the lookout for talent for both of our locations.”

One other initiative that the company is ramping up is their new http://usashamrock.com business, which is a full line of all Irish items – T-shirts, sweatshirts, promotional products, and much more. Doherty, who has been featured in Bill Brett’s Book, Boston, Irish, said that Irish clothing and memorabilia is very big, particularly as St. Patrick’s Day approaches.

The company plans an official ribbon-cutting a little later in the year.
