The Odyssey first opened in November 1974 as a small gift and novelty store in downtown Bedford Ohio. In 1978 we expanded to Aurora, and in 1980 opened our third store in Kent Ohio. As the Aurora store continued to expand, we decided to close both the Kent store, and our original location in Bedford.

In 1986 we purchased Aurora Screenprinting and became Odyssey Printwear while still maintaining a gift and novelty store. Over the years, Odyssey Printwear continued to expand, and now we are proud to have been named one of the top 100 screen printers in the country, by the national trade publication Impressions Magazine, every year since 2000! This distinction has enabled us to continue to grow and develop a client list that includes Paramount Pictures, Abercrombie & Fitch, Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Cavaliers, and many Fortune 500 Companies.
