A scrappy start
Our story doesn’t start with a business plan. It starts with a greasy grill, a moment of desperation, and a humble cardboard tube stolen from a paper towel roll. We grabbed the tube, bent it in half, and began scraping. And the sound… it wasn’t the metallic screech of failure. It was the deep, soulful shhhhhf of cardboard meeting its destiny as it molded instantly and perfectly to the grates. At that moment, inspiration struck, and the Scrappy Scraper, the remarkably effective BBQ cleaning tool that eliminates all the reasons people dislike their scrapers, was born.
We know, it’s a silly story, but before you scoff too much, we invite you to try one. You’ll quickly realize this story isn’t silly;
it is, in fact, the epic beginning of our journey.
“I tried it and have already thrown away my old brushes, and my dad’s. Even though the product wasn’t available yet, it’s that good.”
– Vic F: First Scrappy customer
A Scrappy world
In our dreams, we see a world where people actually love their BBQ cleaning tools. No more disappointments. No more repurchasing something that was supposed to last forever. In our world, Scrappys are making BBQers happy, not filling landfills. Scrappy Scrapers will free people to focus on what BBQing is all about – good food, good friends and good times.
Scrappy by name
Scrappy by nature
The name Scrappy Scraper came from the fact that the product was born from scrap cardboard. But it’s also true to to the product’s nature – a Scrappy Scraper does SO much more than just scrape, it’s the very definition of scrappy. As a company, we have adopted this attitude and live it every day. Operating principles, our brand and our behavior are never normal, they are always spiced with a healthy amount of scrappiness – just like our disrupting product.
A Scrappy commitment
Because Scrappys are disposable, we are committed to being as green as possible. This means using the highest post consumer materials possible, the safest ink and making sure that we’re not shipping from the other side of the world. That means we’re committed to local production and manufacturing too. That way we can support local communities through job creation. It might mean it’ll cost a little more, and we will make a little less, but we’re okay with that; that’s the price of being scrappy.
