Brandon Grbach is the CEO and cofounder of Steel City. Steel City is a family-owned boutique offering Pittsburgh-inspired, vintage tees, sweatshirts & accessories.

 

Grbach started designing t-shirts for his friend’s skate shop, but when the shop shut down, he continued on his own.

 

Now, he and his wife own a thriving business with over 20 employees, a distinct brand, and a habit of growing ~50% every year.

 

In this interview, Brandon and Aaron discuss how he has learned to drive towards simplicity for customers, opening a second location, and how the brand got big in Japan.
