Retail Oriented
“We had to move because we had 20,000 T-shirts in our basement,” says Maloney, the company’s vice president of business development.
A distribution center in Chesterland was the answer to the space crunch. An attached retail store was the bonus, opening in November.
“People in the store have been all ages, from teenagers through senior citizens, and the common denominator is that they laugh,” Maloney says of Mental Floss’ array of “quirky funny, smart-alecky” merchandise.
Speaking of, Mental Floss’ newest creation is the Special Delivery Care Package (below, $24.95) — a pizza box packed with a Mental Floss T-shirt of your choice, sweet brain food (Nerds, Smarties), late-night fuel (popcorn; herbal, naturally caffeinated gum) and two issues of the magazine.
In the words of our favorite Mental Floss T-shirt, it makes letting someone know you’re thinking of them as “simple as 3.141592 ... .”
