Our Story

Games People Play opened in Oak Park Mall in Austin on July 17, 1983. The business was started by Lance and Snow Pogones, Ron and Nadine Pogones, Jon Olson and LuAnn Rypka. Games People Play focused on sporting goods initially, then in 1985, screen printing services were added along with a new partner, Steve Pfiefer. Games People Play expanded again in 1994 with the addition of on site embroidery services. Then, on a cold day in January 1996, a move was made to 701 18th Ave NW in Austin to a newly remodeled building just east of HyVee which remains the headquarters of Games People Play today. We invest in our employees, many have been with us for 20+ years which makes us more of a "family" than just a group of people working together. Because for us, business is personal - from the people we employ, to the shirts we print, every decision is made with you, our customer in mind.

We’re a team of decorating and marketing experts who are here not just to give you the product you need, but to give you support and help to find the perfect product that matches your goals and your budget. We create the shirt you wear to cheer on your favorite team, recognize the business you own, or show support for a worthy cause. Whether you’re looking for marketing tools to promote your business, gifts for employees or clients, or planning a special event, we’re here with a voice of experience to help you every step along the way for your complete satisfaction. We want our customers 100% satisfied with every purchase!

We do that with a large selection of quality products, competitive prices, and extremely dedicated customer service. In fact, we offer everything from basic polos and tees to high-tech performance products and designer corporate apparel. All that plus everything in between!

Games People Play offers you the resources you need to market your company, team or school effectively without breaking the bank.

For starters, our in house graphic artist will create the perfect design to be used on promotional products or apparel to help you generate a buzz around your company. But more importantly, we work with you to find out exactly what the most effective and cost-effective marketing will be for your company.

Take advantage of our extensive experience in specialty marketing to ensure you get the best value and return on every marketing effort.

You can place your order with confidence knowing that our sales staff will be sure every order is completed on time, accurately and with the same high standards for quality we’re known for.

Games People Play is here to help you grow your business, showcase your team and create spirit wear for all your fans. We hope you’ll let us show you what we can do for you.
