Meghan was the kind of kid who drew on her jeans and made custom clothing for herself when there was a lack of “merch” from her favorite bands and pop culture icons. After being stopped numerous times over the course of a vacation and asked, “Where did you get your shirt?” she decided it was time to open her shop.

She founded Stay Lucky Supply Company in 2016 from Florida, USA as a custom t-shirt shop. She has expanded to include accessories and other custom items and was able to PCS her small business to Lakenheath and Mildenhall in the UK. She is currently navigating the intricacies of bringing her business to Spangdahlem, Germany later in 2024 where she and her spouse will PCS once more.
