“Our success is
not only in the products we sell, but being a true member of every community we
open in, and knowing our clientele, their family’s favorite teams, and alma
maters,” says Jon Rubenstein, second generation to the Campus Colors family.

off the college campus, where it otherwise wasn’t available. The company is focused
on customer service, and regularly donates to non-profit organizations within
the community.  “We are loyal to our
customers and show our support by giving back to their local charities any way
we can,” says Rubenstein.

ABOUT CAMPUS COLORS



It all began in the summer of 1989. While driving back from
vacation, Neil Rubenstein's two sons wanted to stop in Ann Arbor, MI to get
official sweatshirts and football jerseys from the University of Michigan. An
hour later with $250 worth of newly acquired sweatshirts, t-shirts, shorts and
jerseys packed into the trunk of the car the family returned to the road to
finish the drive back to suburban Chicago. While on the drive, Neil thought to
himself, "If my kids want this stuff so bad that I have to drive an hour
out of our way, there have got to be more kids like mine and more parents willing
to do the same." It was at that time that the idea for Campus Colors was
born.



Campus Colors was started in 1991 with the premise of bringing
authentic college bookstore merchandise to suburban Chicago. The idea was
simple: rather than travel to your favorite college to get merchandise to
support your favorite school, Campus Colors would bring the merchandise of the
school to you. What started out as a small retail store free standing
commercial building that resembled a fraternity house on a college campus,
Campus Colors has grown into a family run chain with locations throughout the
Chicagoland area and now Mequon, WI. With the addition of Pro Colors, Campus
Colors is able to offer favorite pro team merchandise too.



Campus Colors has four
locations in Illinois: Chicago’s Water Tower Place, Downtown Highland Park,
Hinsdale, and Kildeer, and one in Wisconsin: Mequon. For more information,
