About Us

Purple Outfitters is run by current ACU students who have been given leadership opportunities through the Griggs Center for Entrepreneurship & Philanthropy. 

Kloe Pursley - CEO

Hi everyone! I'm Kloe, and I have the amazing opportunity to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of Purple Outfitters this year! I'm a sophomore accounting major from Merkel, TX, and I stay involved on campus through roles like Rush Director for Sigma Theta Chi and President of the Student Accounting Organization.

As CEO, I get to work alongside an incredible team to lead operations, drive strategic planning, manage finances, and bring our marketing vision to life — all with the goal of creating meaningful and exciting products for our campus community. This year, I'm especially passionate about growing Purple Outfitters’ presence not only on campus but also throughout Abilene.

I'm so excited for what’s ahead and even more excited to collaborate with such a talented and driven team. We can’t wait to bring our ideas to life and make this our best year yet at Purple Outfitters!

Ellee Wade - COO

Hi! My name is Ellee Wade, and I’m the Chief Operations Officer! I’m from Amarillo, Texas, and currently a sophomore majoring in Child and Family Services with a pre-occupational therapy track. I’m also earning a certificate in Entrepreneurship.

On campus, I stay involved as a member of Sigma Theta Chi, the Griggs Center for Entrepreneurship & Philanthropy, and as a campus tour guide.

This year, I’m excited to help grow Purple Outfitters through our boutique clothing line while also learning the ins and outs of running a business and getting hands on experience!
