And I wanna tell you a little more about us!
We are coming up on our five-year anniversary (August 1st - woohoo!), and I thought now would be a great time to tell you a little more about us, where we started, and what we aspire to be.
First off - if you have not read our article in Plano Magazine - I highly recommend ya do! And I am not biased in making this suggestion, I don’t think! It’s a quick read and gives some direct quotes from one of our owners - Mollie - and her inspiration that started it all.
We are a family-owned and operated business - if ya didn’t know! We are not a franchise, though we did get the idea from a company in Canada called Frog Box. We asked them if they wanted to franchise here in Texas, but they were not interested. So we decided we could do it ourselves! We connected with a friend of mine (longtime friend - we were in Girl Scouts together) and asked her to design a logo for us, take some photos of our products, and create a website for us! We are eternally grateful to her, see more of her work here! Her name is Sarah Fun and we are big fans of hers at Elephant Trunk.
We started the business with a blue F-150 - not the lovely wrapped van you see around town now. We had a few hiccups with that and finally were told by a friend that we NEEDED a van to be “pro-style” (as John would say).
We have grown a LOT in these five years, and we are excited for the many more anniversaries to come! We so appreciate everyone’s support of us and our mission. Your reviews, you guys telling every person you meet about us - that really means a lot and it helps us so much! We may be almost five years old at this point, but we are still a very new concept and one a lot of people haven’t heard of! So keep on spreading the good word!
