Toure Apparel offers t-shirt printing, custom gold grillz, and streetwear right in Seattle’s Central District. Owner Moe Toure has been running his shop for 19 years and has been at the current location for the last four. During that period, he’s overseen the growth of his brand into a local staple.

“I like this area because I’ve been able to watch a lot of people grow up,” Toure said. “It’s like a family. Some people who walk in here I don't even look at as customers; to them, I’m like Uncle Moe.”

Toure makes the process of getting a grill easy - customers can view a catalog of options in the store, add customization, and have their molding done in-house.

“We do most of the basic work here and then the long job is done in New York,” Toure said.

For Toure, having a shop like this is something he’s worked for his entire life.

“I’m seeing the dream come true,” Toure said. “If you’re in the area, come on in and say hi. We’re here for you.”
