Columbus Dispatch:

For a business created to generate beer money for college students, Ares Sportswear of Hilliard sure has grown up fast.

Childhood friends and owners Mike Leibrand and Mike Campbell have turned their small Tshirt company into a multimillion-dollar apparel business.

Leibrand, 37, and Campbell, 35, went from selling tees to fraternities and spring-breakers in the ’90s to having thousands of sportswear customers across the United States.

They went from screen-printing shirts in a Columbus apartment to managing 45 employees, 16 sportswear catalogs and a Web site that together should generate sales of $6 million this year.
