About Shirts Plus Signs & Designs

Shirts Plus Signs & Designs is a creative production shop in Aitkin, Minnesota, specializing in custom apparel, embroidery, signage, and branded merchandise. From custom t-shirts and team apparel to storefront signs and vehicle graphics, the shop helps businesses, organizations, and individuals bring their ideas to life.

While the business has served the community for more than 25 years, the next chapter began when Bethanie Gravelle, a 2024 graduate of the University of Minnesota Crookston with a Bachelor of Business Administration and a minor in Marketing, stepped in to lead the company forward. As a woman-owned business, Bethanie is building on the shop’s long-standing reputation while expanding its creative capabilities with her best bud Teddy!

We offer Screen Printing, Embroidery, and Design, and as of February 2026 we are excited to add vinyl signs, decals, and a wide range of sign‑industry services.

Rooted in the Local Community

Community has always been at the heart of Shirts Plus. Many of the projects that come through the shop support:

  • Local small businesses

  • Schools and sports teams

  • Community events and fundraisers

  • Clubs and organizations throughout the region

Bethanie believes in keeping production local whenever possible and building lasting relationships with customers who value craftsmanship, creativity, and personal service.

Looking Ahead

As the business continues to grow, Shirts Plus Signs & Designs is focused on combining decades of trusted craftsmanship with fresh, modern creativity.

The mission is to make ideas visible — through thoughtful design, reliable production, and a personal approach that reflects the values of the community it serves.

Whether it’s custom apparel, branded merchandise, or professional signage, Shirts Plus Signs & Designs helps customers create products they’re proud to wear, display, and share.

From threads to ink, we’ve got your style covered.
