Our story

From dirt bike graphics to a full-service shop.

1st Chance Graphics started in 2005 with one dream: Chance Benson wanted to design and create graphics for dirt bikes. He worked side by side with his parents, and the business quickly grew into signs and vehicle graphics.

Today 1CG is a full-service graphics and apparel shop in Bogart, Georgia — wide-format printing, screen printing and embroidery under one roof — still run by Chance and Kelly Benson: husband and wife, mom and dad, and business owners.

Established: 2005
Years in business: 21
Ownership: Family
Under one roof: Wrap · Sign · Print · Stitch
