BUILT BY THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND SERVICE

The Military Shop By L&M was founded with one mission: to provide active duty service members and veterans with custom military products they can be proud to wear.

Our Story

WHERE IT ALL STARTED

The Military Shop by L&M was founded over 20 years ago by Manuel Guadiano, a proud Marine veteran. Originally established as L&M Sports and Embroidery on Fort Sam Houston, the business was built from the ground up through the dedication and hard work of Manuel and his family. Having served in the Marine Corps, Manuel understood firsthand the importance of military uniforms and the pride, identity, and tradition they represent. Although he has since passed, his legacy continues through his wife and granddaughter, who remain committed to upholding the values he instilled in the business: quality products, efficiency, and exceptional customer service. As the business continues to grow and expand its services, The Military Shop by L&M has relocated from its original location on Fort Sam Houston to a new location just outside the military installation. While our location has changed, our commitment to serving the military community and providing quality products and personalized service remains the same.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Precision

Every item is crafted to exact military specifications. We know the standards because we've lived them.

Pride

We take immense pride in every piece that leaves our shop. Your uniform represents your service — we honor that.

Community

We're part of the military community, not just a vendor to it. We give 110% effort, support, and stand alongside those who serve.

Reliability

When you need your product, you need it right and on time. We deliver — no excuses, no delays.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

Every order is made to your exact specifications. We use only military-grade materials, and every piece goes through a quality check before it ships. If we get it wrong, we make it right — that's our promise to every service member and veteran who trusts us with their uniform.
