Spotlight: First Chair Rentals

Flagstaff Business News is spotlighting First Chair Rentals on North Humphreys Street and owner Robbie Kerr. FBN: What made you decide to open this type of business? I can't really say I made the decision to open a ski and snowboard rental shop, that credit goes to Brady Black and Craig Culler of Moenkopi River Works. It was more of a decision on how to utilize the building that is zoned residential and commercial. They decided to open the shop and asked if I wanted in. After a summer of commercial fishing in Alaska, I came home and laid out all my money and along with theirs, we bought everything we needed to open a rental shop. Two winters came and went without even getting to unlock the doors; then, on the third season we unlocked the doors and I had a blast, working with the customers, tuning equipment and working my 10th season in the lift department at the AZ Snowbowl. I was now completely engulfed in the ski industry and I loved it. Five seasons went by and on the sixth, we decided to sell the business, it was too up and down, mother nature was too fickle.
