Wiggy's Story: Back to Our Roots in Sleeping Bags

The day after Labor Day 1988, at 7 AM, Kok opened the doors of Wiggy’s to start production.

Back then we were making what amounted to 38,200 sleeping bags for the forestry fire fighters and very few Wiggy’s bags. Once we finished the government contract Wiggy’s was on its own. Those first few years were a struggle.

What I noted was that our sales picked up starting in August each year because people wanted cold weather sleeping bags. So, our winter sales were always booming. But our warm weather bag business was very slow. The rest of the industry concentrated on the warm weather stuff, so the cold weather sleeping bag market was left for Wiggy’s to serve.

Over the years I learned how large that market is.

I greatly appreciate the people who have been customers of Wiggy’s over the years and hope that you will continue to be. THANK YOU!
