Sharing Flagstaff through Tours, Souvenirs

After hearing and taking to heart what tourists like to buy, Blake Nabours, owner of AZ Segway and Pedal Tours, is on a roll to open the Grand Circle Outpost, an exclusive emporium featuring souvenirs all manufactured on site. Encompassing what Nabours refers to as the “grand” circle, Flagstaff, Sedona, Route 66, Grand Canyon, Page and Las Vegas, his novelties will feature the genre of these bordering neighbors on t-shirts, prints, key chains, magnets and other items. Nabours says his new venture was a natural evolution. “Our pedal touring business was operating at the Sports Exchange located at Aspen and Beaver Streets. When the owner, Katie Peterson, decided to close, I decided to stay. There were no other locations optimal for the price and we could expand our offerings and cater to travel and tourism.” “I gave him [Nabours] the opportunity to rent the building so that he could make it as successful as he could,” said Van Odegaard, landlord of the Grand Circle Outpost building and owner of Odegaard’s Sewing Center. Flagstaff Convention and Visitors Bureau Director Trace Ward believes the Grand Canyon Circle Outpost will be a great addition to downtown. “Our historic Downtown is a strong draw for both domestic and international visitors. The more we can provide things to do and information on the area, we are providing a better visitor experience, and this is good for everyone.
