🏆 WE DID IT — TWO YEARS IN A ROW! 🏆

Tonight was a pretty special night for The Strong Stitch. We are incredibly proud to be named a Best of Central Florida Winner for the second year in a row! 🥇

But this award isn’t just about a business — it’s about the people behind it.

We are extremely proud of our team and the hard work, dedication, attention to detail, and pride they put into what we do every single day. None of this happens without great employees who care about the work and care about our customers.

Tonight, they are the true winners.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support The Strong Stitch, trusts us with your businesses, schools, teams, organizations, and ideas, and continues to help us grow.

Two years. Two wins. And we’re just getting started. 💪

🎉 WELCOME TO THE STRONG STITCH FAMILY, ZOIE! 🧵🔥

We’re extremely excited to welcome Zoie to the team starting next week!

As The Strong Stitch continues to grow, one thing we refuse to sacrifice is the care, quality, and attention to detail that got us here. Bringing the right people onto our team is a huge part of making sure that never changes — and we know Zoie is going to fit right in.

She’ll be learning the ropes, helping us keep up with the craziness, and bringing the same level of care to your orders that you’ve come to expect from us.

We’ve been incredibly fortunate to continue growing, adding equipment, expanding our capabilities, and now growing our crew again.

We’re excited for this next chapter and even more excited to have Zoie along for the ride!

Everyone help us give her a big WELCOME TO THE STRONG STITCH FAMILY! 💪🧵

I’m honored to announce that I’ve been selected for Leadership Lakeland Class XLIII.

When we purchased The Strong Stitch, it was a small embroidery shop with big potential. Since then, we’ve focused on building something much bigger than apparel—we’ve built relationships, created jobs, supported local schools, businesses, first responders, nonprofits, and reinvested every step of the way into our community.

Leadership Lakeland is another opportunity to continue that mission. I’m excited to learn from some of the area’s best leaders, build new relationships, and bring those ideas back to help grow both The Strong Stitch and the community that has supported us from day one.

This isn’t just a personal achievement—it’s a reflection of what can happen when you invest in people, stay committed to your vision, and never stop learning.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted us with your business and supported our journey. We’re just getting started.

Leadership Lakeland XLIII… let’s get to work.
