Branded Bills signed a 96,407-square-foot lease for new headquarters in Tempe, AZ. The lease triples the size of the headwear and apparel maker’s headquarters to support its 40 percent year-over-year growth.
Branded Bills will relocate from 37,076 square feet of space at the Broadway 101 Commerce Park in Mesa, AZ. The new building, which consolidates the company into a single location, will support 40 Branded Bills employees across administrative, sales, marketing, production and warehouse functions.
News of the pending move came from a press release from the Phoenix office of JLL, which arranged the lease.
Founded in 2015 by Dave Dickert, Sam Coil, Josh Tabaj and Tim Welch, Branded Bills has grown from a start-up operating out of a local garage into an expansive apparel company with a custom order division, golf-specific wholesale offerings and a healthy online direct-to-consumer enterprise.
“We have moved or expanded seven times since our inception in 2015,” said Dickert. “We expected our last expansion, which happened in May of 2023, to last us five years. But our incredible growth changed those plans, compelling a move. Our new headquarters is a welcome next step that will bring our company under one roof, improve our efficiency, empower new programs and partnerships, and fortify the corporate culture that has always been the heart of our success.”
This year, the company added licensing for Arizona State University, Grand Canyon University and Northern Arizona University. It has also established a partnership with the Phoenix Suns that includes the buildout of a retail store in the Footprint Center arena.
“Almost 10 years ago, Branded Bills embarked on a journey to redefine headwear and apparel with unparalleled quality. Businesses and individuals have embraced the ways that our innovative decoration process elevates their logos, and our company has grown in step with that popularity,” said Tabaj. “We are grateful for each of these relationships, which continue to transform how companies approach promotional merchandise. We also couldn’t ask for a better way to mark our upcoming anniversary than with an expanded corporate headquarters. This building provides everything we need to meet our aggressive growth goals and showcase our quality, innovation, customization capabilities and industry leading delivery times.”
The new Branded Bills headquarters sits on 4.6 acres near McClintock Drive and Rio Salado Parkway, at the confluence of Loop 101 and Loop 202. It is minutes from Arizona State University and Sky Harbor International Airport, as well as I-10, US-60, State Route 87 and I-17. It is also within walking distance of Tempe Marketplace, a 1.3 million-square-foot retail complex.
