History
The humble beginnings of Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More began back in 2008, as a trio of visionaries — Leeward Bean, Tina Bacon-DeFrece, Ph.D., and Ron DeFrece — took the plunge and opened the inaugural Big Frog store in Clearwater, Florida. The local community embraced the pioneering custom t-shirt printing concept with open arms, propelling the brand to remarkable success, and they began franchising. Now, the Big Frog franchise system serves individuals and businesses throughout the U.S. and Canada.
