About P & M Apparel
P & M Apparel operates from Polk City, Iowa, where it was founded in 1987 by Phyllis and Melvin — the P and M — after careers in farming and home remodeling. The business began in their basement and moved to Polk City as it grew. Their daughter Kay took over leadership, and in 2023 ownership passed to the third generation: Megan Griffith and Ryan Toney. The company is certified as woman-owned and remains family-run. The shop provides screen printing, embroidery, direct-to-film digital printing, vinyl, glitter, rhinestone, puff, and sublimation decoration, plus live event printing, online team stores, and promotional product sourcing. With a crew of 16, the facility handles orders ranging from a single piece to runs exceeding 10,000 units. All artwork is created in-house, and every job receives a proof before production. Customers include schools, sports teams, businesses, nonprofits, dance studios, churches, and community organizations across Iowa and nationally. The company has shipped to 29 countries and produces state tournament apparel with no rush fees, corporate swag, fundraising merchandise, and uniform programs. The founders’ philosophy centers on “great apparel builds belonging” and a service model that prioritizes fast answers, kept promises, and problem-solving over transactional decoration. Roughly 90 percent of business comes from referrals, a result the owners attribute to acting as a single partner for all decoration methods rather than a vendor list.
