FOUNDER NOTE
Hey, I’m Cecilia Parada, the founder of American Great Store.
Growing up, I always cherished the values that my family and community instilled in me. As a proud Latina and a patriot, I believed in hard work, freedom, and the American Dream. However, like many, I was initially influenced by the mainstream narratives that often contradicted these values.
Over time, I began to question the messages I was hearing and took a closer look at the ideologies being promoted. What I found was alarming:
- The push for made-up genders
- The vilification of masculinity
- Efforts to restrict gun rights
- Excessive taxation
These realizations led me to an awakening. I saw through the absurdity of these post-modern initiatives and recognized the importance of preserving the founding values of our great nation.
But then I faced another dilemma: the brands I supported were backing these radical agendas. From kneeling during the anthem to advocating for gun grabs and undermining family values, I found myself asking, “Why can't I buy clothes without supporting a radical agenda?”
This frustration led to the birth of American Great Store. I wanted to create a company that truly embodies American values and the principles that have made this country great and prosperous. We didn’t want to be just another generic “patriotic” brand; our designs needed to be clean, cool, and timeless. And the quality of our products had to be exceptional—soft, durable, and perfectly fitting.
In 2021, we launched our very first product line, and since then, we've been dedicated to sharing our message and supporting the freedom movement. We invite you to join us in celebrating and preserving the liberties that make America the land of opportunity.
With liberty and justice for all,
Cecilia Parada
