His Story

As a kid, the young A.J. worked for his dad, who had a small bakery store. His family lived in Osage City, a small town in Kansas with a population of only a few thousand people. After graduating from school, Scribante got interested in sales and this is how his entrepreneurial journey began.



He started selling a bleach product to stores and wanted to find a great way to do it. He began comparing the differences in the prices of his and other products in regional supermarkets. This way he could make more sales by selling cheaply in the areas where the prices were high.
