Tenafly, N.J. (April 14, 2013) – EmbroidMe, the world’s largest embroidery franchise, announces a new store will open on April 1, 2013 at 6-8 Washington St. in Tenafly, under the ownership of local resident Batchi Basis.

Basis recently retired from 20 years of teaching at the JCC Early Childhood Education Center before deciding to pursue a second career after discovering EmbroidMe.

“I chose to explore the EmbroidMe opportunity because I wanted to invest my time in something I love doing – an occupation which will compliment my arts and crafts hobbies from the past 40 years,” said Basis. “The artistic side of what is involved in running an Embroidme is where my passion is. I’m excited to meet with clients of all ages and create the perfect item for their personal use, business, event or organization.”

Basis says that as a teacher, she experienced a lot of satisfaction seeing children grow from preschool to post college, and she hopes that EmbroidMe will allow her an equally satisfying level of community involvement as she works with individuals and local businesses.

“There are many businesses, religious congregations and various cultures in this area, and I can’t wait to meet everyone and start working together,” says Basis.

EmbroidMe in Tenafly will be open from Monday to Friday, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

With nearly 400 retail locations, EmbroidMe provides full-service custom embroidery and screen-printing for apparel, as well as promotional products and gifts to both the private and commercial segments of the business community.
