A Letter From Us to You
A Letter From Us to You
Hi Friends,
Whether you’ve been with us since the basement days or you’re just walking through our doors for the first time, we’re truly grateful you’re here. Small Town Famous isn’t just a store—it’s a reflection of everything we love about small-town life: hard work, hometown pride, and the kind of community that shows up for each other.
What began in a little basement with a big dream has grown into a three-story space right here in the heart of downtown Hastings, Nebraska. It still feels surreal. This shop stands as a tribute to the people who believed in us, rooted for us, and helped us build something worth sharing.
From the ground up, every floor of our store tells a story—of creativity, of commitment, and of a whole lot of heart. Whether you're browsing our comfy, hometown-inspired apparel, grabbing a cold drink or sweet treat on the mezzanine, or just stopping by to say hey, we want this place to feel like yours as much as it feels like ours.
Maybe you knew us as BAD Sportz, traveling across the state and showing up at tournaments from Chadron to Ogallala. Those early years shaped who we are and connected us with families and stories from all corners of Nebraska. And now, we’re proud to finally have a place where those same connections can keep growing—right here at home.
So if you're ever nearby, please come in. Grab an ice cream, browse around, and stay a while. We'd love nothing more than to share a story, swap a few laughs, and continue building this dream together—one shirt, one scoop, and one memory at a time.
Thanks for supporting us. Thanks for believing in local. And thank you for making Small Town Famous something truly special.
With love,
The Cranson Family
