About Us

In November 2012, owner Gregory Gilmore opened Toolbox with the goal to offer exclusive men's fashion underwear and apparel in a welcoming brick-and-mortar retail shop. Gregory gained extensive retail, sales, customer service experience from his prior work in home furnishings and clothing. 

Toolbox debuted in the Broad Ripple neighborhood of Indianapolis until April 2015 when had an opportunity to relocate downtown to the 700 block of Massachusetts Avenue. In November 2019, we made another move around the corner to our current address, just south of Mass on College.

The shop décor is a mix of cozy garage and DIY, using found and repurposed materials. Armed with a 'how hard could it be' attitude and an education of countless YouTube videos, Gregory built many of the fixtures and displays used currently in the shop today.

Lily, our beloved black pug and shop dog, joined our family in September 2015. Lily can usually be found napping in her bed back by the fitting rooms, precariously stationed on a rug by the cash wrap, or looking out the door for other dogs and the traffic.
