Theresa Flores, a Denver native, has been a nurse at Juniper Village The Spearly Center for over 23 years. In August 2015, she and 3 additional family members (her mother Anna, sister Joni and cousin Gary) decided they wanted to make their own t-shirts to express their political opinions in a hot political climate. They started a small business named FBD (Flores By Design), named after Theresa’s late father John Flores, who was an artist in Denver.
Then they went a step further. They decided to sell their t-shirts, mainly focusing on politics. Then they went a step further. There was a multitude of requests for personalized shirts. They invested thousands of dollars and purchased a high-tech direct-to-garment printing machine and traveled to California for a special instructional session. Quality and customer satisfaction is extremely important to them.
Today the family team of four at FBD (ages mid 50’s to early 80’s) are taking their business even further. Since inception their customer base is in the hundreds, with many repeat customers, and continues to grow. They can customize any job, their prices are very competitive and their products aren’t just limited to t-shirts; Aprons, baby clothing and canvases are popular items as well. Theresa has no plans to leave Spearly anytime soon, but she feels her new business is a great opportunity after she does decide to retire after being a nurse for decades.
