TL;DR
Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More has opened a new location in Albuquerque, New Mexico, owned by Tamara and Alex Turkai. The Turkais, former Ford Motor Company employees, were drawn to the franchise's creative and community-focused approach.
“Tamara and Alex’s technical expertise and passion for creativity make them the perfect fit for our brand’s expansion in New Mexico,” said Tina Bacon-DeFrece, president and co-founder of Big Frog. “We’re excited to see them introduce Big Frog’s unique offerings to Albuquerque’s vibrant community and build lasting local connections.”
After decades of successful careers at the Ford Motor Company, the Turkais decided to transition from engineering and technology to a more creative venture that aligns with their passion for innovation and community involvement.
Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More specializes in a variety of custom decorating services, including Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing, embroidery, screen printing, vinyl and Ultra Print (heat press). The franchise is known for offering free design help, no minimum order requirements, no art or setup fees, and quick turnaround times for every project. The Turkais are eager to bring the first location to Albuquerque, creating a trusted destination for custom apparel needs.
“Initially, I laughed at the idea of changing my whole career, but after talking to the team, I changed my mind,” said Alex. SOURCE Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More
