The odds that two roommates would end up working for the same company may be slim, but one pair that graduated in 2004 has worked three jobs together and they now own their own business.

Ryan Fowler and Kevin Goldner own an online store called ‘BG Memories’ that opened in September, 2014. They offer unique University clothes for students and alumni.

“We noticed that there weren’t many options for alumni to buy BG clothes besides the Bookstore and SBX store,” Fowler said. “We wanted to offer an alternate option for students and alumni [that] they can check out 24 hours a day.”

‘BG Memories’ offers over 40 designs in the store, Goldner said. It has T-shirts, women’s cut T-shirts and long sleeve shirts for both men and women.

“We add new designs every week,” Goldner said.

To go along with designs, the co-founders plan to add other apparel options to

the website.

“We will be offering hoodies and kids apparel soon,” Fowlers said.

Goldner said they are planning to add baby shirts like onesies and socks.

The thing that makes them different from the other clothing stores is the focus on comfort and uniqueness, he said.

“18-22 year olds want to be different, they make their own identity with what they wear,” he said. “‘BG Memories’ has a unique look that the Bookstore or SBX doesn’t have.”

The style of the clothing was described by Golder as “vintage style with a

modern feel.”

“We are embracing everything that is Bowling Green,” he said. “We have a leg up from the rest of the competition because we were former students. We know the culture in and out of the town. There is no other store that focuses on BG only.”

Fowler was involved in broadcast, The BG News and BG24 when he was a student. He lived with Goldner from 2001 to 2003 as roommates and Goldner was a graphic design student.

After they graduated, they started working in a catering company together.

“After that, we went our separate ways but kept in touch,” Fowler said.

In 2009, they came together again to work for whatifsports.com. Fowler is a content manager and reporter, while Goldner is a graphic designer for the website. February 2014 is when they got the idea of starting their website together.
