What started in a small, non-air-conditioned warehouse in 2010 has grown into South Florida’s go-to fan shop. CanesWear, the beloved sports merchandise store, is celebrating 15 years of serving passionate fans—and co-owners Ken Graff and Brett Gittelman stopped by Inside South Florida to share the journey.
Originally a mishmash of sports gear under various names, the store found its identity when it focused in on the University of Miami fanbase, officially becoming CanesWear. But don’t let the name fool you—it’s now a one-stop shop for all things South Florida sports, from the Miami Dolphins to Inter Miami and Lionel Messi, to your reigning Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers.
“We're the Disney World for adults of sports. It's amazing,” Brett said.
The success of CanesWear is not just in the merchandise—it’s in the experience. “Customer service has always been our number one priority. We know people's names and talk to whoever comes in. That's the most important stuff about the about the company,” Ken added. “We’ve always been all about the U, but we’re really all about YOU, the customer.”
To celebrate 15 years, fans can expect promotions and exclusive gear drops throughout the season. Whether you’re repping the Canes, cheering for the Heat, or flaunting Panthers pride, CanesWear has you covered.
