Akron Zoo launches online store with unique designs

AKRON, Ohio — The Akron Zoo has launched an online store, stocked with zoo-themed items in an array of collections.

Designs on the T-shirts, hoodies, cups, totes, puzzles and color prints are unique to the Akron Zoo's online store, and not available anywhere else, including the zoo's gift shop, the zoo said in a release.

Offering unisex sizing for adult T-shirts and hoodies, the online store also offers baby, toddler and youth sizes.

All the items are made-to-order to create less waste, which means items can't be returned unless they are damaged or misprinted, the zoo said. Everything in the store ships free.

The Akron Zoo has created several collections for its online store:

A portion of all sales from the online store goes directly to help the animals, the zoo said.

The zoo's summer hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The Akron Zoo is located at 505 Euclid Ave. in Akron. For more information, visit the website.
