A new embroidery and screen-printing business has set up shop in central Tucson.
Direct Embroidery leased 1,203 square feet at 3601 E. 44th St. and is open for business.
Max Fisher and Rob Glaser, with Picor, negotiated the lease on behalf of the owner and landlord, Presson Corp.
Opened about two months, owner Carmen Gallego decided to start her own business after working for an embroidery shop for three years.
“I used to work at least 65 hours a week, so I figured I might as well work for myself,” she said.
Aside from customized embroidery work, the business does vinyl and screen printing.
Anyone interested in how the business works is welcome to visit, Gallego said.
“I do love to show people what I do,” she said. “No appointment is necessary.”
The store hours are Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
An electronic multi-head embroidery machine is used to complete orders at Direct Embroidery.
