History of GotGrit

GotGrit started on the ATM Mailing list as 'Group Grit' where I was frustrated with the high costs of getting grit in small quantities.

I sent out an email to see who was interested and found a lot of guys felt the same way. I think there were about 15-20 packages, with some international too! After I sent the packages out I kept getting emails asking if they could get in on the group order too. So I decided to open a website in December of 1999 and GotGrit was born!

Over the years there have been small changes, for a while I was able to carry glass. Once for about 6 months I was working in St Paul, MN and I packed up all my grit into my pickup and shipped from there!

Over the past few years my website has become fragile and it was long overdue for a face lift which brought me to this new shop, running on Flux.

I am also getting my sons involved in running the business so GotGrit is ensured to continue. We have found a source of glass again, since it is really hard to make mirrors without it!

This new website is also running on a decentralized server, which means it can move around from place to place. The servers are limited to the USA, since that's where most of the customers are, but anyone, anywhere can use the site.
