We’ve all had those crazy money-making ideas after a few drinks, but for most of us they end up as just that – ideas.
Not so for friends Alex Alfaro, John Greller and Jake Kehlenbeck, the founders of Pocket Pioneers, who came up with their idea for Giant Pocket Shirts on a drunken night out.
It’s a simple concept – t-shirts with one HUGE pocket on the front, to carry anything you like in, from beers and sodas to puppies.
It’s one that’s taken off for the trio of entrepreneurs, who appear with their products on this week’s episode of Steve Harvey’s FUNDERDOME on ABC. The guys started small, designing and testing and marketing the shirts themselves, but went on to sell 1,500 shirts in under a year, so knew they were on to something.
Now they have a successful website selling Giant Pocket Shirts in a string of designs and in both vets tops and tees.
T’s also some plain designs, and then t piece de resistance – patriotic ones with American flags making up the pocket.
The shirts all go currently for $29.95, with free shipping for orders over $45. You can buy them on the Pocket Pioneers website.
