Big Frog Leaps Into Rochester Hills: Paco Beltran Rodriguez Brings Personalized Apparel to Michigan

Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More is opening in Rochester Hills, led by the new franchise owner who’s ready to bring fast, high-quality personalized apparel to the community.

Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More is hopping into Rochester Hills, Michigan, with a new location expected to open later this year. Leading the launch is Paco Beltran Rodriguez, a first-time franchisee with a background in international business and a lifelong exposure to entrepreneurship through his parents.

Rodriguez comes to Big Frog with a degree in international business and French and has worked in a variety of fields, including pharmaceuticals, insurance, and higher education. Raised in a family of entrepreneurs, he always envisioned pursuing business ownership himself. After spending time in the corporate world in New York, he realized he wanted something different — something more personal and impactful.

“Corporate life wasn’t 100% my cup of tea,” he said. That realization, along with guidance from his father, a business coach, led him to explore franchising. Through the discovery and validation process, Big Frog emerged as the right fit.

What stood out most to Rodriguez during the discovery process was how approachable and responsive the Big Frog team and franchisees were. Rather than feeling like just another candidate, he felt genuinely supported and encouraged to ask questions, explore the model and build real relationships with people already in the system.

“One of the things I appreciated about Big Frog was how secure I felt during the process,” he said. “The representatives were always supportive on our weekly calls, but what stood out even more was the willingness of other franchisees to connect. I was able to speak with several of them one-on-one, and they took the time to answer my questions in depth. That helped me feel confident in my decision and made me feel a genuine connection to the brand.”

While he initially saw the custom apparel space as oversaturated, a closer look at Big Frog’s differentiators changed his perspective. The brand’s relationships with top-tier suppliers like SanMar and AlphaBroder, combined with its ability to deliver quality products quickly, gave him confidence that Big Frog could stand out.

“Time is money, and customers want to get their products as quickly and with the best quality possible,” he said. “Knowing that Big Frog can deliver on tight deadlines is something that sets us apart.”

Rodriguez also saw a unique opportunity in Rochester Hills. Though not the largest city in Michigan, the area blends a strong residential base with active schools and a thriving local business scene. From Rochester High School to nearby shopping centers, the community offers a wide range of potential customers — including families planning events to businesses in need of branded merchandise.

“There’s a mix of everything,” he said. “Being able to be right in the community and provide services locally is something I’m excited about.”

Community involvement is a big part of Rodriguez’s vision for the store. As a naturally social and outgoing person, he plans to network, attend events and build strong local connections that help grow both awareness and loyalty for the brand.

Now in the final stages of securing a storefront, he’s aiming to open the Rochester Hills location later this year. With energy, ambition and a commitment to quality, Rodriguez is ready to make Big Frog a go-to destination for custom apparel in his community — and a strong addition to the brand’s Michigan presence.

Decoding Big Frog’s Franchise Investment in Your Custom Apparel Success

Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More offers a transparent breakdown of costs in its FDD, giving prospective owners a clear view of the investment needed to launch their franchise.

The franchise ownership journey presents a rewarding opportunity, but it demands careful consideration. In addition to the time and energy commitment associated with owning a business, franchisees must consider the financial aspect. To support its prospective owners in navigating this aspect of the due diligence process, Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More offers clear insights into the initial investment.

“Our FDD [Franchise Disclosure Document] is designed to be a transparent resource, empowering individuals to make informed decisions about joining the Big Frog family,” said Tina Bacon-DeFrece, PhD, co-founder and CEO. “We encourage all prospective franchisees to carefully review these figures and seek professional advice to assess their circumstances.”

According to the brand’s 2025 FDD, the initial investment required to begin the operation of a Big Frog franchise ranges from $163,987 to $323,110. 

A significant portion of the initial investment comes from the initial franchise fee of $60,000. This fee, which is a one-time cost, is paid to Big Frog in exchange for the right to operate under the brand name and operating system.

Beyond the franchise fee, several other startup costs contribute to the overall initial investment:

• Training Travel Expenses: Franchisees and their designated staff undergo training to ensure alignment with the Big Frog system. The associated costs of travel, lodging and meals to attend this training generally range from $2,000 to $5,000.  
• Lease Deposits and Store Build-Out: Franchisees must secure a suitable retail space out of which they operate the business. Lease deposits and build-out to ensure the space meets Big Frog’s specifications generally range from $15,000 to $50,000.
• Equipment, Furniture & Fixtures: A Big Frog franchise requires specific equipment for custom apparel printing, as well as furniture and fixtures for the retail space. The cost of acquiring these items ranges from $14,787 to $112,350.  
• Computer System and Software: Big Frog uses technology to keep the business running smoothly, and franchisees must invest in approved computer systems, including hardware and software. This is estimated to cost $7,200 to $12,760.  
• Signs: Exterior and interior signage is crucial for brand visibility and attracting customers. Costs for signage are estimated to range from $4,500 to $13,000.  
• Office Supplies: Basic office supplies are necessary for day-to-day operations, with estimated costs between $1,500 and $4,000.  
• Insurance: Franchisees are required to obtain and maintain insurance coverage to protect their business. The FDD estimates insurance costs for the first three months of operation to be between $1,500 and $3,000.  
• Professional Fees: Legal and accounting services may be necessary during the franchise setup process. These professional fees are estimated at $1,500 to $3,000.  
• Franchise Opening Costs: Miscellaneous expenses such as utility deposits, internet costs and licenses also factor into the initial investment, range from $1,000 to $2,000.  
• Opening Inventory: Stocking the store with initial inventory is essential for commencing sales, with an estimated cost of $5,000 to $6,000.  
• Promotional and Advertising: Big Frog requires a $10,000 budget for grand opening and advertising. This covers promotional activities during the first three months of operations to encourage a strong start.
• Additional Funds: Franchisees are encouraged to have access to additional funds for the first three months of operation to cover ongoing expenses such as payroll, rent and utilities. Big Frog recommends budgeting between $40,000 and $42,000 for this.  

While these figures are good-faith estimates, based on the costs required to launch previous Big Frog locations, they are still just that — estimates. The actual investment can vary based on the specific location of the store, the size of the retail space, and other market conditions that influence costs.

“We aim to provide potential franchisees with a comprehensive understanding of the investment involved in starting a Big Frog franchise,” Bacon-DeFrece said. “While these are estimates, they represent our best approximation of the costs associated with launching a successful store.”

Maria, Christina and Alex Papastamatis on one of their adventures.

New franchisee Alex Papastamatis is bringing custom apparel options to the Plantation-Davie community with Big Frog, focusing on quality, service and local impact.

Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More is bringing its personalized apparel services to Plantation, Florida. The new store, owned by Alex Papastamatis, is set to provide high-quality, custom-designed products while fostering strong community ties.

“I’ve been in corporate America for a long time, and I was ready to leap into business ownership. I had been wanting to go into business for myself for a while,” Papastamatis said. “As for the custom apparel industry, I worked in marketing roles for Norwegian Cruise Line and Comcast Advertising, where I frequently purchased promotional items and branded clothing. I was familiar with the purchasing side and understood the importance of branded apparel, especially in the B2B space.”

Papastamatis considered multiple franchise opportunities before selecting Big Frog. “I worked with a franchise consultant, filled out a questionnaire and received a list of franchises that aligned with my goals, skills and lifestyle wants. Big Frog was one of my top three choices,” he said. “A big factor was that it’s a fun product to sell. As I researched the company, listened to testimonials and participated in Big Frog’s informational calls, I appreciated the company’s culture. It still has a small, family-business feel.”

The franchise model and support system also stood out. “I spoke with  four franchisees, and every one of them was more than happy to share their experiences. That level of openness was important to me,” Papastamatis said. “I also felt that the leadership, particularly CEO Tina Bacon-DeFrece, truly cares about franchisees’ success. During the Meet the Team Day, I got the impression that they’re focused not just on growing as a company but on ensuring each location is profitable.”

Plantation and Davie are familiar territory for Papastamatis. “We moved here from New Jersey in ’79. So I pretty much grew up in the Plantation-Davie area,” he said. “I went to Tropical Elementary School and then American Heritage High School, which is down the street from where I’m at right now in the area that I’m looking at.”

The location of the store is a key factor for success. “Awareness is key. I want people to know that we’re here. That’s why location is so important — I want to be in a high-traffic area, possibly near a Publix, OrangeTheory, or busy restaurant, where people are frequently visiting,” Papastamatis said. “From a marketing perspective, I’ll be leveraging social media, direct mail and outreach through the chamber of commerce.”

Community engagement will be a priority for the new Big Frog location. “I plan to get involved with local chambers of commerce as soon as I have a location finalized. There are so many nonprofit organizations and festivals in the area that I want to support,” Papastamatis said. “One of Big Frog’s great features is the ability to create an online store for schools and community groups that can also function as a fundraiser.”

The store will offer customers an in-person experience that differentiates it from online retailers. “One thing that sets us apart from online competitors is quality and service. Customers will be able to come in, see and feel the products and work with a graphic designer to create something they’re proud of,” Papastamatis said. “Having a local, hands-on experience makes a big difference.”

With preparations underway, Papastamatis looks forward to building a strong presence in the Plantation community. “I want to be a pillar of the community, a place where people can bring their ideas to life,” he said. “Whether it’s branding for a business, apparel for a local event or fundraising for a nonprofit, we’re here to help.”

Billy Snyder’s journey from employee to franchise owner with Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More is one marked by dedication, resilience and community spirit. Inspired by his mentor and former boss, Tim Campbell, Snyder has transformed a childhood job into a full-fledged ownership experience, bringing his unique passion and expertise to the Big Frog location in Cumming, Georgia.

A Career Shaped by Mentorship and Opportunity

Snyder began his career with Big Frog in 2012, joining as a graphic designer at just 19. He attributes his growth and advancement in the company to Tim Campbell, who later became the store’s second owner.

“Tim had come from the corporate world, where I believe he was the president or CEO of Aramark, and he became the best mentor I could have asked for. I learned everything I know through him,” said Snyder. Campbell’s mentorship, combined with his corporate experience, gave Snyder the knowledge and confidence needed to navigate the franchise model, ultimately fueling his ambition to one day own the store himself.

When Campbell passed away in 2017, Snyder found himself recalling his mentor’s encouragement to take on ownership. Although the idea initially seemed far-fetched, he found himself gradually coming around to it. “The more I thought about it, the more the idea started to grow on me,” said Snyder. “Over the years, I realized I could do it.”

His journey wasn’t without challenges, however; during the COVID-19 pandemic, Snyder took a temporary leave from Big Frog due to financial strains but was later called back to help stabilize the struggling business. He returned and managed to increase revenue by $100,000 in his first year back.

A Family Partnership to Fulfill a Dream

The opportunity to purchase Big Frog arose shortly after, and Snyder didn’t hesitate. He partnered on the franchise with his grandfather, who fronted him the necessary funds. “My grandfather is basically the ‘bank,’” Snyder said. “He gave me the loan to buy the store, but he’s not involved in the day-to-day operations. His words were, ‘I just want to be the bank, and I trust you to run it.’” This support has allowed Snyder to focus on his vision for the store while maintaining a legacy his grandfather also values.

Choosing the Franchise Route for Growth

For Snyder, owning a Big Frog franchise has given him a deep appreciation for the benefits of franchising. “I could have started my own print shop, but Big Frog is a national brand, and this store has been part of the community since 2009,” he said. “Sticking with a brand that’s tried and true was the smarter move.”

Reconnecting with the Community

Snyder’s approach to business is grounded in a commitment to the community. He’s actively re-engaging with the local Cumming area, joining the chamber of commerce, attending small business meetings and working to increase Big Frog’s presence at community events.

“Tim was very involved in the community, and people still remember him fondly,” Snyder said. “Unfortunately, we haven’t done much in the community since Tim passed, but that’s something I’m working to change.” He has already started making charitable donations to organizations like the Humane Society of Forsyth County and Meals by Grace and is determined to establish Big Frog as a community-focused business once again.

Building a Legacy Through Continued Growth

Snyder is also dedicated to seeing the business grow beyond its current state. “My main goal is to grow the business,” he said. “Right now, the store makes enough to sustain itself, but I didn’t buy it just to maintain the status quo. I want to see year-over-year growth, and I think the best way to achieve that is by getting more involved in the community.”

Snyder understands the path to success will not always be easy, but he’s ready for the challenge. “Owning a business is terrifying, and there’s a lot of stress that comes with it,” he said. “I had to take out a loan to buy the store, and if it fails, I’m bankrupt. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. My first month was positive, and while my second month was slightly negative, overall, we’re up for the year. There will be ups and downs, but if you’re committed, it’s worth it.”

Advice for Aspiring Franchise Owners

For anyone considering a similar path in franchising, Snyder has practical advice. “Franchising isn’t for everyone. It really depends on the franchise and how you’re wired as a person,” he said. “I sat on the idea for seven years before pulling the trigger, and now that I’ve done it, I’m glad I did. It’s hard work and there will be nights when you’re staying late, but it’s so much more rewarding when you’re doing it for yourself.”

Moving Forward with Big Frog

With his entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to honoring his mentor’s legacy, Snyder has found his footing as a franchise owner. As he continues to build his Big Frog business, he is redefining what it means to be part of both the Big Frog franchise family and the Cumming community, one custom T-shirt at a time.

After nearly 30 years of working his way up the corporate ladder at a large laboratory equipment company, Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More Franchisee Dave Ackley was at crossroads.

They look forward to getting started with running their own store.

“There are tons of small businesses in our area, and I’m hoping to make their lives easier by giving them a real person to talk to about their custom apparel needs instead of just an impersonal online-only process,” said Dave. “I’ve been around apparel and printing for years. Big Frog gives me an opportunity to get involved in my current community with sports teams and other local businesses. I’ve already built many relationships, and I’m working to create additional community connections.”
