“We had many options and ideas about how to launch the new Truckee brand in retail. Our collaboration with bigtruck is a natural fit with the Chamber’s support of non-seasonally dependent, year-round businesses that are creating sustainable, professional jobs for locals" said Colleen Dalton, Marketing and Communications Director. “We appreciate bigtruck’s support of the new Truckee brand, and believe their values align with Truckee’s community values which we learned about in the Place-Based Marketing Initiative, particularly healthy lifestyle, family friendly, and community minded.”

“Since 2010, bigtruck has grown from a local startup to a global business. Our priority has always been to hire in Truckee and to run our business from design to manufacturing and fulfillment out of pre-existing commercial space”, says Galen Gifford, Founder. 

The new Truckee Base Camp Collection will be released by the Truckee Chamber of Commerce at Truckee Thursdays on July 14th  at 5:00pm in partnership with bigtruck (outside of the Train Depot) with a sewing machine on-hand for custom hat designs.
