“We’re excited for the opportunity to serve our UWF fans,” said Michelle Bryant, manager of the Argo Fan Shop. “From t-shirts and sweatshirts to stadium chairs and tailgate tents, guests will enjoy our wide assortment of Argo gear.”

The Argonaut Village is a UWF Business Enterprises, Inc. project housing mixed-use restaurant and retail facilities. UWF BEI first broke ground on the project in 2014 and opened the village’s first shop in June 2015. The Argo Fan Shop is one of several other businesses in the village including Boneheads, Starbucks, and Herbal Nails & Spa.

The Argo Fan Shop is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. It is located at the intersection of Highway 90 and Campus Drive near the east entrance of the UWF campus.
