Tariffs, Trade, and American Manufacturing: Mark Andol and The Made in America Store Featured in NY Post & WKBW

The Made in America Store was founded on one core belief: American manufacturing matters. For over a decade, we’ve been committed to supporting 100% American made products and helping bring jobs back to the U.S. Now, as tariffs and trade policies take center stage in national conversations, our founder, Mark Andol, has been sharing his perspective on what these policies mean for American businesses.

Recently, Mark was featured in both the New York Post and WKBW Channel 7, offering insight into the ongoing debate about tariffs, trade, and the future of American manufacturing.

The NY Post visited the Made in America Store to speak with Mark Andol and local shoppers about their views on tariffs and how they impact American industry. The article takes a closer look at why some business owners and consumers believe these policies are long overdue and could help strengthen U.S. manufacturing.

For Mark, this discussion isn’t new—it’s something he’s been advocating for since he opened the store in 2010, after losing a welding contract to China. His stance has always been clear: if we want to rebuild American industry, we need to invest in American businesses and products.
