About Acme Merchandise & Apparel

Acme Merchandise & Apparel was founded in 1994 by Elaine Butter in Gloucester, MA, originally as just ‘Acme Apparel’.  Over 20+ years, Acme has expanded, opening four offices throughout the United States and Asia.  Today, while apparel still comprises a significant portion of the business (over 1 million t-shirts per year), Acme has developed an extensive catalog of products in a range of price points.
