Learn About Our Lore

Since its founding in 1965, Bigfoot Trading Co. has evolved from a chainsaw retail and repair company into a unique retail store originally in Clearwater. Dennis and Christine decided to put together a shop using custom products which reduces cost and allows for greater customer reach. A family-run operation with deep roots in the community, Bigfoot is proud of its humble beginnings and long-standing success. 

The Bigfoot management team has since spent years building, managing, and perfecting the Bigfoot Trading Co. business model and operating structure. Since opening its second location in Kamloops, BC, Bigfoot has learned the retail business inside and out and the operation is stronger than ever.  The Bigfoot Trading Co. now views franchising as a vehicle of growth to other similar markets under a common system and name.
