Merch Mob makes kitchen shirts, front-of-house uniforms, and staff hats for restaurants and bars in El Paso, TX, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to El Paso. El Paso skews young, with 26% of residents between 18 and 34 compared with 23% for the whole country and a median age of 34.5 (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so a retail tee with a playful back print has a large local audience.

What El Paso's weather means for restaurants and bars
An average high of 97°F in June makes summer hard work on the line and the patio alike, so outfit servers in moisture-wicking polos and cooks in thin, quick-drying tees. December to February brings average highs under 65°F, the stretch when a long-sleeve staff tee and a logo hoodie earn their place, both behind the bar and at the register. December lows average 34°F, so the crew leaving a late close needs more than a kitchen tee; order the winter staff layer in the same color as the summer shirt so the team still looks uniform. When the street hits 100°F, as it does on about 27 days a year, the kitchen line is hotter still, so pick the lightest durable blend for cooks and a performance polo for patio servers. Closing staff step out into freezing air on roughly 42 nights each year, so a beanie and a hoodie belong in the staff kit.

Ordering from El Paso
When do patio staff in El Paso need a warmer layer?
Plan on December to February, the part of the year when highs in El Paso average below 65°F, so a staff hoodie or quarter-zip should be on hand before December, and the same blank can go on the retail shelf.
