How the Curious Crow Company got Started

The Curious Crow Company is a small, family-owned business that is proud to be rooted in geekdom and its community.

Our story begins a long, long time ago, when the co-founders (Tristan and Erin) grew up as big fans of fantasy, sci-fi, comic books, collectibles, video games, and all things curious and arcane. Tristan managed several specialty retail stores over time while building his own impressive personal collection of treasures. Erin managed several stores in the service and entertainment industry, honing skills for live events and gatherings. They met, fell in love, got married, and eventually decided to combine their powers together to create a business that welcomes any and all, and especially those that seek the geek life. 

The online store launched in January of 2024, and now Tristan and Erin are finalizing a commercial space for their physical location, which will feature all of our curated products with unique live events and will serve locally made coffee, tea, beer, and wine. It is projected to be open in the Spring of 2024! The owners hope to provide a gathering place for anyone who has a curious mind, where you can browse or stay for a spell with a tasty beverage.

Our Mission: Create a shopping and gathering experience that goes far beyond a transaction. We embrace the “special” in a specialty store.

Our Vision: The Curious Crow Co. is a welcoming place for curious minds to explore and gather. A retail experience that feels as unique as our products. A journey’s beginning and culmination in geek culture, accommodating everyone from tutorial to expert modes.

Our Team: The founders of The Curious Crow Co. have a life-long relationship with the world of geekdom, as well as business management and event coordination. Tristan and Erin’s passion for helping people find joy and comfort in their interests is a driving force behind their service and commitment to excellence.

Our Values: Quality | Experience | Community | Inclusivity | Eclectic Excellence

So, welcome to the murder of curious crows, and stay tuned for the grand opening coming soon!
