What is Toplevel Sportswear
Toplevel Sportswear is an American company that manufactures casual branded and marketing sportswear apparel. Toplevel Sportswear headquarters are located in Lakeland, Florida.
History
Toplevel Sportswear was founded in 2015 by Hector Graxirena, a then 46-year-old former Technology Specialist and Entrepreneur. Graxirena initially began the business from his home in Brandon, FL. He spent his time traveling from the East coast to the West coast of Florida, with apparel in the trunk of his car. His first sales came through the e-commerce website which was built for Toplevel Sportswear. He was managing his daily life, though it presented challenges—daily showers were at his local gym, and he lived in his office—but he was determined to keep his ambition and continue striving for greatness and achieving his goals and dreams. After approximately one year, Graxirena moved to Lakeland, Florida where he resided at his office for close to seven months before he was able to move into his own home. From there, he began to see his hard work, dedication, and sacrifice pay off as he watched his business grow.
As a Technology Specialist, Graxirena had an abundance of several types of projects, ranging from simple computer repair to directing cybersecurity for a high volume and well known national supermarket chain. He started a consulting firm called HoBITS Technologies and provided IT solutions for small businesses in the Tampa Bay area. Despite his success and wealth of knowledge within the Information Technology field, Graxirena still felt that there was something missing—his ability to use his fascination and his passion for artistic expression. Website Development and Design was what he really relished in the IT sector. With any website development project, Graphic Design plays an immense role in that process, and he has always been drawn to that aspect as a way to truly engage with his love of the arts. He managed to turn that passion into a career.
Recreationally, Graxirena loves the open road and always tries to make time for enjoyment of his other love—his motorcycle. He has even used this thirst for adventure and travel for a greater good, by developing an organization (YouCMe Organization) to create and promote awareness for motorists to look twice and use caution to save lives of fellow bike riders. During a leisurely ride, a friend of Graxirena mentioned how much he would like to have matching shirts for their collection of motorcycle riding friends—so they could proudly display their camaraderie and represent one another while appreciating the passion for the open roads of Central Florida. This challenge began, and the first shirt was designed. He made T-shirts using moisture-wicking synthetic fabric with a unique graphic design. He developed his first prototype of the shirt, which he gave to his group of friends who rode with him. After this shirt was created, and they began regularly wearing their shirts during rides, a demand for more of these shirts came in, as other groups and businesses started noticing the type of apparel. As more interest from these businesses and organizations grew, he decided to begin a new venture—Toplevel Sportswear was launched.
While researching the product before beginning a new business venture, Graxirena noticed that there were a handful of companies making something similar, but their designs were not practical and not unique. The shirt styles were the regular crew shirts, and sizing and printing were inconsistent. Trying to say ahead of the competition, he wanted to offer exceptional quality in distinctive and bold designs and colors in addition to accurate sizing and printing. Graxirena made the decision to name his company “Toplevel Sportswear”, since many of his competitors in the industry always sought ways to achieve the “next level.” Since there is no goal higher than the top, Toplevel seemed to be the perfect name, as providing high-quality, premium branded apparel was the ultimate goal of Toplevel Sportswear.
