We, Tom and Gretchen, started Handi-Stor in 2005 after Gretchen’s particularly bad camping trip down the Oregon and California coasts.

It’s not that Gretchen has no idea how to camp; she has been doing it all her life and with nary a hitch.  Tired of searching for the corkscrew in the bottom of one of her camping bins every evening for two weeks, Gretchen called Tom, and many Wednesday nights, glasses of chardonnay and various take-outs later, BIN BUDDIES® was born.

But why stop there?  Why not multiply the ecstasy and agony of designing and bringing a product to market on little more than a wing and a prayer?  Hence, we looked around and decided to solve our other burning storage issues with the development of Pet BUDDIES® and Tool BUDDIES® .  The products we developed and continue to develop begin with an idea of how to solve our pressing storage problems in our tiny abodes.  We love living small and our products are designed to make our tiny lives just a little less stressful.  We hope they do the same for you.
