Entrepreneurs: Red Lodge, Montana man turns hobby into booming business – Back Alley Metals

Bears have been good to Back Alley Metals http://backalleymetals.com/ .

What started out as a hobby for semi-retired welder Mike Thompson has turned into a thriving metal fabrication business. And it got a little boost from curious bears roaming downtown Red Lodge pawing through garbage cans.

The city is beefing up its public trash cans, making them more bear proof. And that job falls to Back Alley Metals. The company has also produced bear-resistant trash cans, some of them beautiful works of art, for the cities of Whitefish and Missoula.

Back Alley Metals also creates gates and railings, signs, wall art and other metal items.
