The Tinder Box Classic store has been a proven and solid winner for over 75 years. Tinder Box opened its first store in 1928, selling only the finest selection of cigars, pipes, tobaccos and smoking accessories. Over the years our product selection increased, with the addition of a unique and unusual selection of gift items depending on the location. The evolution has been successful and exciting, and has resulted in today's Tinder Box is a very inviting store. Part tobacco shop and part gift emporium, Tinder Box stores are an effective merger of two strong, knowledge-based retail product categories that attracts and appeals to both men and women. Both the tobacco customer and the gift customer represent repeat and destination business. Our stores in strip centers and freestanding locations have remained mostly tobacco shops, with some having a comfortable place where patrons can sit and enjoy a cigar or a pipe full of tobacco. Both the tobacco category and the gift category maintain very strong followings, and offer very low levels of product obsolescence. Solid business, great fun. The next one could be yours.
