STARTEX GEAR

Whether you're a lifelong resident or just passing through, Hometown Supply Co has the perfect way to show your Startex spirit. Startex has a rich industrial heritage rooted in textile manufacturing. Originally called Tucapau after the mill established in 1896, the town got its current name in 1936 when Walter Montgomery Sr. purchased the mill and renamed it after Startex, a popular brand of household textiles produced at the plant. That mill became the heartbeat of the community for generations, operating until 1998. Today, Startex's 859 residents carry forward the legacy of hard work and community pride that defined this historic mill town. Wear your Startex pride across Spartanburg County and South Carolina. Hometown Supply Co delivers authentic local merchandise that connects you to the story and spirit of this resilient South Carolina community.
