When Randy Jackson first moved to Chandler 28 years ago, he didn’t know he would end up as one of the more successful Black entrepreneurs in the city.
Fast-forward to 2024 and Jackson’s not only proud over what he’s endured and accomplished with Cool Apparel Printing since starting the business 12 years ago. He’s also excited about what new technology can do for him and newer screen-printing entrepreneurs in the years ahead.
“I encourage young entrepreneurs to start now,” Jackson said. “There’s way less equipment needed than there used to be. Now, really, all you need is a place and a heat press.”
