Stumble Weed Blades Our story begins one fateful afternoon when the owner of Stumble Weed Blades (SW Blades), Jimmy Post received a phone call from one of his very best customers, Ben Logan. Ben Logan owns a sports store in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and had just called Jimmy "complaining that so many of my competitors are now selling Stumble Weed Blades and it's impossible to support the product anymore. ." The local market in Saskatoon was making it impossible to make a profit selling Stumble Weed Blades. "I am very sorry but my store is going to drop the Stumble Weed Brand even though we really love the products." Ben's store had been an exclusive carrier of SW Blades in Saskatoon since 2015 and one of Stumble Weed's very first customers. Ben's support had been important in the growth and survival of Stumble Weed through their first three years and Jimmy was very concerned about this potential defection. Stumble Weed was almost becoming a victim of its own success. The SW Blades had become so successful across Western Canada that retailers were contacting them every day to order their product line. Jimmy was starting to worry that Stumble Weed had reached market saturation. If they continued to add new retailers in Western Canada he was certain that more of his very best customers would start leaving. One of the great successes of the Stumble Weed brand has been its exclusivity and the more stores it was available in the less "cool" the product lines became. But how could Stumble Weed grow without more retailers. Thus, the dilemma that kept Jimmy awake at night. History of Stumble Weed Blades Jimmy Post and his best friend Jim Kandy had grown up in Calgary partying and adventuring through their teen's barely surviving high school. The problem was not "smarts" but rather their commitment to school. The two "Jims" wanted adventure and fun, and could barely tolerate sitting in class listening to boring accounting stories. The day before graduation they left a note with their respective parents "Gone with Circus" and bolted for parts unknown. Five years later, having seen most of the uncommon world sights they returned home to Calgary for their next big adventure.
