New face at the Shack | Meet Chase!

Howdy everybody!

I wanted to take a minute and introduce myself, as y'all might be hearing from me quite a bit moving forward. My name is Chase Thompson, and I am super excited to announce that I have joined the awesome Crackerjack Shack family as the Director of Business Development out here at our Springfield store!

The team seems to have enjoyed taking the last few weeks running me through the ringer, showing me step by step the craft they've mastered, stitching and printing quality apparel designs day in and day out, while having a chuckle as I whimpered around confused in a pile of clothes, or struggled to line up a shirt as a pallet swung away from me. Fear not, I think I've agreed to leave all those tasks to the professionals from now on!

A little about me - I grew up in the quiet little town of Walker, Missouri and lived there until I moved to Springfield to attend Missouri State University, and fell in love with the Queen City of the Ozarks from day one. I spent my time at Missouri State running around as Boomer the Bear and six years later, I'm still cheering my way through the city - just with a little less fur now days. From relaxing in the stands of the Springfield Cardinals, to pineapple whip on the hood of my car, to frisbee in many of our great parks, I'm not quite sure what my favorite part of Springfield really is! Drop a line in the comments and let me know what your favorite thing to do in town is, and what makes Springfield so great for you. I'm sure I've still got a lot to cover!

I am truly blessed to be able to work with an incredible team like the one we have here at the Crackerjack Shack, and I am very comfortable telling you that we will be able to provide you fun, professional garments on time every time, complete with that little touch of down-home family feel that Springfield manages to capture so well.

Make sure you pop in and visit me at 1321 W. Sunshine here in Springfield, or give me a call at (417)351-3436 (hit one to get to me at the Springfield store, two through four will send you to Ash Grove!), and keep in touch with my ramblings here on the blog on our website, lots of big changes in store here, too!
