From hobby to business

Spring

2021

The idea for the company was born in the spring of 2021, when the covid situation had led to an explosion in the number of disc golfers. New discs were nowhere to be found and buying used ones was slow, expensive and risky. In addition, the idea of starting my own business had been on my mind for some time.

We decided to set up an online shop where customers could get discs quickly, easily and reliably. If nothing else, we would learn something new. We set up a limited company, built an online shop, bought used discs for our parents' garage and started working.

Thus was the start of DiscKing.

Summer

2021

Our parents' garage was quickly running out of space and we started looking for a small office space. We found a suitable space quite quickly and at the beginning of July we moved to a 20m2 office cubicle in Kaarina Krossi, Finland.

Winter

2022

In January 2022, we found a space where we could open a brick-and-mortar store. We negotiated a bank loan, renovated the space and in March we were able to open our first brick-and-mortar store. The store of about 100m2 was located on the ground floor of Autoliike Palomäki in Kaarina's Piispanrist and its selection included not only used discs but also new disc golf discs and accessories.

Autumn

2022

During the summer, we realised that our premises were too small. One particular difficulty was the small office space, which almost always looked like this.

We started looking for new premises and, by chance, our current landlord had just vacated a 500m2 shop/warehouse space right next to our shop. We went to look at the space and realised it would be perfect for our business. In addition to a large brick and mortar store, we could build a sensible office and storage space and one of our long-standing dreams; an indoor disc golf training center.

We negotiated the financing and started renovating again. In October 2022, we were able to open our new store and Finland's first indoor training centre.
