Drinkware company Tervis is headed to Ohio with its first retail store, which will land at the South Campus Gateway this winter. The Florida-based company operates 40 branded stores around the US with wholesale through other large retailers including Bed Bath & Beyond.
“A nationally recognized brand like Tervis choosing South Campus Gateway as its first Ohio location is a tremendous opportunity,” said Campus Partners President Amanda Hoffsis. “We can’t wait to introduce the Tervis retail experience to students and the broader community.”
The drinkware product range at Tervis includes tumblers, mugs, water bottles and other insulated designs for both hot and cold drinks. Branded merchandise includes logos and images from companies ranging from Disney to Coca Cola, as well as licensed sports teams including local representation via Ohio State, the Crew SC and the Blue Jackets.
“We are delighted to be in Columbus near one of the nation’s largest universities,” said Tervis Head of Stores Chad Blankenship. “We are excited about our partnership and brand positioning with South Campus Gateway. Local alumni, faculty, student body and fans have been great supporters of the Tervis brand.”
Blankenship added that the Columbus location will double as a test market for new merchandises.
Tervis drinkware has been made in America since 1946 and offers a Made for Life TM guarantee. It keeps hot drinks hotter and cold drinks colder, plus reduces condensation. Tervis drinkware and accessories are also sold at tervis.com and in more than 8,000 retail locations nationwide.
