However, one inside the store, there is an overbearing, off-putting smell of patchouli. As a college student, I thought the store items were overpriced for the relatively low quality, and the clothing was not size inclusive (too many junior-sized items). The owner's unprofessional behavior is also a reason why I do not enjoy this store. I've known people who worked here, and they described what was a hostile work environment where they were subjected to verbal abuse, and I witnessed this firsthand. On one occasion, I was in line at the counter with an item in my hand, ready to make a purchase (earrings I believe?), but after hearing how rudely she spoke to an employee in front of me, I decided not to buy them. If that's how she acted in front of customers, I can only imagine how she behaves in private. The owner has been in the news for her bigoted, transphobic views, which are on display in the storefront windows. In doing this, she has clearly made a connection between her political views and her store, so this is why I find it fair to comment on them in this review. I was not a fan of this store before, but this is yet another reason not to support this business.

My first time in the store I spent over $100. But that was on a lot of items because everything is fairly priced! I have bought shirts and sweatshirts as gifts for others. Ordering from their online store is great because they send you numerous updates about the status of your purchase when it is shipped. If you want to support a great local company in Athens, you can't go wrong with Ohio is HOME. The staff is friendly and you can buy just about anything Ohio themed (except for apparel from that one other university in Columbus with Ohio in its name).

I'm used to college apparel stores being super expensive, with maybe two or three lame styles at a reasonable price. This place has TONS of t-shirts for their "crazy eights" price, with pretty much any sort of design you could be looking for -- simple, classic, cute, mascot, etc, in several colors. They also have sweatshirts and sweatpants in that same back section with the lower-priced shirts. I bought a t-shirt and some sweatpants and I can't wait to wear them. There's also tons of options for hats, stickers, mugs, lanyards, decorations, pretty much anything that could say OU or OH YEAH is in here. They also have more expensive merchandise, if that's what you're looking for. But if you want to get a gift for someone or just some merch for yourself, this is definitely a place worth checking out.
