You can order a comfy T-shirt and support your favorite local restaurant

A local screen printing and embroidery company has created a new online store aimed at supporting local restaurants and nonprofits impacted by COVID-19.

Logos@Work has created T-shirt options to choose from that are priced at $20 each, with half of the cost of each shirt sold given to a restaurant that the buyer designates they would like to support with their purchase.

Wendy Lewis, CEO of Logos@Work, said she had been working on the creation of a new store to help support local, nonprofit organizations through the purchase of Dayton-themed apparel prior to the pandemic. When she saw the local restaurant industry hit hard she decided it was time to launch her vision.

Those interested in supporting their favorite local restaurant through the new site can go here and choose from four Dayton-themed designs that can be printed on either men's or women's fitted tees with six different color options.

Designs include a script font that says “#ItsGreatInDayton” and a block font that says “IT’S GREAT IN DAYTON.”

The other two shirts focus on restaurants with one that reads “eat. tip. support. dayton area restaurants” and another that says “Support Dayton Local Restaurants — Keep ‘Em Cookin’!

Customers can designate which local restaurant they would like to support with $10 from each shirt that they purchase. Lewis said at some point she will expand to use the site to support other local nonprofit organizations, but will focus on local restaurants for now.

All orders will be processed one week after the stay-at-home order is lifted.
