About PJ Gonzalez
Hi, I'm PJ Gonzalez, founder of HobokenMerch.com.
I was born and raised in the Hoboken Housing Authority, and Hoboken has always been
more than my hometown—it's part of who I am. Growing up here gave me a deep
appreciation for the people, neighborhoods, traditions, and landmarks that make this city
unlike anywhere else.
I opened All Occasion Florist, a locally owned business that has proudly served the Hoboken community through weddings, birthdays, holidays, celebrations, and life's most meaningful moments. Being able to serve generations of local families has been one of the greatest honors of my life.
As Hoboken has changed over the years, I realized that many of the places, traditions, and
memories that shaped our city were slowly fading. I wanted to create something that would help preserve that history while giving people a way to show their hometown pride.
That's why I created HobokenMerch.com.
Every design starts with a story. Whether it's the Lackawanna Terminal, the waterfront,historic businesses, neighborhood pride, or the everyday memories of growing up in Hoboken, my goal is to create merchandise that means something. I don't chase trends—I create designs that celebrate the people and places that have made Hoboken special for generations.
When you purchase from Hoboken Merch, you're supporting a locally owned small business built by someone who has spent a lifetime in this community. Every order helps me continue creating original Hoboken-inspired apparel while keeping the city's history and spirit alive for future generations.
Thank you for visiting HobokenMerch.com and for supporting local businesses. I hope our
designs bring back great memories, start conversations, and let you wear your Hoboken
pride wherever life takes you.
See you around town!
