So first…

All Punked Up specific news…
Last week, we mentioned our BIG news. If you missed it, we announced that we are launching an All Punked Up store. That’s right! We are expanding the APU brand to be more than just a news site. Above is a sneak peek of our new shop’s website.
Our store already has a ton of different shirts and designs, hats and accessories. I can’t wait to officially launch this thing. The only thing really left to do is make sure I have a few more business things in place and tightened up. Once all of that stuff is in place, we will launch immediately!
We’ll have a little fun once we officially announce the store by doing giveaways and whatnot. I really can’t wait for this.
Here’s a sneak peek of just a few of our products:
