"I pick the designs. Dad does the computer stuff."
OUR STORY
Hi. I'm Oakes.
I'm 9, and this is my company.
My dad and I started Oakes & Co. on the dock. He wanted to teach me how a real business works. I wanted to make shirts about fishing. So we did both.
Every week I pick a design, check how many we sold, and read what you say about our shirts. Some of my ideas are great. Some are not. That's how you learn.
When you buy something here, you're helping a kid learn what a business is, and maybe getting your own little legend outside a little more.
