Dogtown University
Anne Taylor and Roger Ossian founded A & R Marketing in 1996 in Campustown, focusing on custom screen printing and embroidery. As a licensed Iowa State vendor, they quickly expanded, collaborating with numerous colleges and student organizations.
Their retail store, Dogtown University, opened later and specializes in Iowa State vintage logo apparel. The name “Dogtown” reflects the area's historic nickname, where students once "dogged" it on foot.
Though known for their retail store, their primary business driver remains custom printing and embroidery. Taylor and Ossian enjoy their relationship with Iowa State and cherish being part of Campustown's vibrant community. They invite everyone to explore Campustown and its unique energy.
