About the shop

A small shop with a big press.

Big Monkey is a women-owned custom t-shirt store on Butler Street in downtown Saugatuck. You bring the idea; we bring the blanks, the artwork wall and the heat press. Customers mention Mary by name for being kind and patient while they get a design just right.

It's a family business that stays involved in the community, and everyone is welcome here.

Wonderful service and product! Mary helped me design and print some custom t-shirts for a special trip and birthday. She was beyond kind and patient with me as I made little tweaks to the design.
