Our Story
Skip's Garage was started in an apartment at UConn in the fall of 2008. Owner Ken C. was a senior at the time and was very passionate about becoming an entrepreneur. He came from a family of entrepreneurs and wanted to follow in both his Father's and Grandfather's footsteps.
His desire to be an entrepreneur stems from the aspiration to create, innovate, and lead a venture that not only fulfills a market need but also aligns with personal passions and values. It's a path that promises autonomy, the freedom to steer one's destiny, and the ability to bring a unique vision to life. This ambition is driven by a blend of creativity, perseverance, and the willingness to take calculated risks, with the hope of making a meaningful impact on the community and the world at large.
The Early Years
Throughout college, Ken had been working a variety of jobs to pay for school and living expenses. He had always been into computers and technology and knew that there had to be a way to turn that into a business. Around mid-October, 2008, he got involved with an old friend and started building and designing the website that is now SkipsGarage.com. They meticulously researched niches and products to sell and luckily found the new, but flourishing industry of beer pong.
Since then, the company has experimented with a number of industries and products, including cornhole and other tailgating games. Around 2012, Skip's Garage began providing custom cornhole boards and accessories to customers across the web. Over the years, they have experienced steady growth and are proud to have become one of the largest online retailers in the industry.
