So why are people so into this Johnny Cupcakes thing?
Customers like and appreciate the story behind my brand. I started this from the trunk of my beat up 89' Toyota Camry. College drop out. Drug and alcohol-free lifestyle. Turned down a lot of investors. Took countless risks. Kept my shirts out of heaps of chain stores. Yeah, I could of made a TON of money real quick, but I chose quality over quantity. I'd rather have a strong brand filled with knowledgeable customers who truly enjoy and appreciate what I've created - rather than making a quick buck trying to get my shirts in chain stores across the world, and then being just another fad. People like what nobody else has, and I love coming out with limited edition, exclusive shirts - rather than mass producing things. I communicate with my customers(I wouldn't be here without them!) I build memorable experiences for my customers... whether it be an in-store event, or the packaging and details I put into everything. Most companies try to cut as many corners as they can, to turn a better profit. I do the exact opposite and pay close attention to all the little things. I've managed to build a multi-million dollar, strong, fun, different, homegrown business - without going your typical route. I've managed to employ both of my parents, my sister, and all of my close friends - so that they don't have to work jobs they don't enjoy.
My name is Johnny and I make clothes with cupcakes on em. Have you had your cupcake today?
Who I'd like to meet: jessica alba, kirsten dunst, claire danes, lilly allen, gwen stefani, and it might be nice to eventually meet the girl who I would grow young/old with.
A girl with a red ribbon in her hair to go steady with. I'd pick her up at 8, we'd go get milk shakes, hang out at the drive in... and if it gets chilly out, I would drape my varsity-esq jacket over her shoulders. At the end of the night, I would drop her back off, walk her to the door, gently(or roughly) tug her hair back and give her a kiss on the neck. (seriously)
oh I'm so jealous i that i can't go on Saturday. my two favorite things teenage mutant ninja turtles & Johnny cupcakes. pretty please come to Australia!!
so i went by your melrose shop like, 2 weeks ago & i got the last Johnny Cupcakes purse for $125 it made my day i love it and in the little time i was there these tourists came in and wanted cupcakes and were baffled and at the same time one of your employees had answered the JC phone and was asked what kind of cupcakes they had it was quite funny.
Johnny, I was having an awful week...and then I got my package with all the t-shirts and earrings that I ordered! They look even better in person than they do on your online store. Thanks for making me feel like it was Christmas in June and for all the smiles! :D
i was in your store in boston today! sooo awesome.. everyone there was kickass. and i got an awesome shirt from there for my b-day! you should open a store in Connecticut.!
Johnny - visited your store on Melrose this weekend! Love the decor inside and all your new tees! Congrats on making it on the west coast. - Abbey, fellow Hullonian and village kid
Yo the jc 3rd year anniversity was crazy. Surprised when your folks came and handed the people in line snack bags (chips,granola bar,fruit, juice, candy, flashlight ) . Reminded me of school field trips and eating bag lunches.
