Started by what may have seemed to be your average 19 year old, ready to make her dreams come true. Thrifty Stick began from the idea of a store that offered everyone who wanted snowboard equipment the ability to get it at a reasonable price. Out of a little tiny storage closet office in an apartment across town, a dream became a reality. 

The name? Well "Thrifty Stick" came about in a conversation between Kendra and Conrad, her old boss at BC Surf and Sport. When Conrad started snowboarding the boards were called "sticks." Sort of like, "hey man, let's grab our sticks and hit the hill." And, well...the thrifty part just made sense. From there Thrifty Stick was born. 

In August of '98 the first location of Thrifty Stick was found. A quaint little space, located next to a liquor store and across from ARC thrift store on broadway. Carrying only the best of thrift randomness and offering an affordable alternative to a quickly growing expensive hobby. You can see it in Kendra's eyes as she talks about all the love and dedication that has been put into making TS what it is today. Remembering the reps scoff as they walked into the store, "hmmm..I don't know that our product is the right fit." and " great idea but not sure if it'll work." but those downs and doubts didn't stop her. She pushed through spending nights sleeping at the store, fighting the days praying, "God, if you want me to be here I need to make X amount of money today." And of course...that day to the penny that amount would be made. In a "we're so rad" industry of young reps it wasn't easy, but it wasn't impossible either and Kendra knew that. And as time went on TS has developed into a place that all riders can call home. 

...and today. A single mom of two beautiful daughters and proud owner of what is denvers top local boardshop. A place anyone would be proud to be a part of!

So get in here...meet the crew....and hang out!
