Despite its name, franchisees do not in fact stitch designs directly onto people. The company specializes in customized T-shirts, hats, banners and the like — including the kinds of logo shirts you’d wear if you worked at, say, a franchise. The company operates 450 stores today, up from 50 in 2002; its far-flung outposts include stores in Qatar and Botswana.
