Welcome to the vibrant world of West Georgia Cornhole and Titan Bags, where the passion for cornhole transformed into a thriving business. In 2012, Brandon Greba dedicated Thursday thru Sunday nights in his garage, crafting cornhole boards alongside his nine-to-five job as an industrial supply sales manager. What started as a college hobby had become a booming enterprise by 2013, with boards gaining popularity. Faced with a choice, Greba, influenced by a family history of entrepreneurship, took a leap of faith.
"I was struggling with the orders," Greba reflected. "I was traveling for work, getting home on a Thursday, and trying to get these orders built and shipped out. I was battling internally with my long-term goals, whether I wanted to stick with this company or branch out and do my own thing. I come from a long line of entrepreneurs—my dad owned his own business for 30 years, and my grandparents did the same thing."
Quitting his job in July 2013, Greba, with family support, hired part-time employees and embarked on an entrepreneurial journey. Fast forward to today—three kids later, 50+ employees, and numerous happy tailgaters later—West Georgia Cornhole, LLC is not just thriving but exceeding expectations.
The sawdust left the garage far behind as Greba moved West Georgia Cornhole into a 14,000-square-foot facility in Winston, Georgia. In 2020, amidst the brutal COVID pandemic, the growth led to another leap—this time into a state-of-the-art 40,000-square-foot building, complete with a dedicated cornhole playing venue, "The Hideaway." Hosting tournaments, training sessions, community events, and a weekly league, it's a testament to the journey from garage crafting to a celebrated cornhole destination.
Working hard, Greba invested in top-of-the-line equipment, including a UV Flatbed Printers, CO2 Lasers, CNC Routers, Dye Sublimation Printer, enhancing our manufacturing capabilities. This investment allowed us to expand our product range, now featuring innovative additions like LED lights and Bluetooth speaker boards. Need a rush order? With our upgraded equipment, West Georgia Cornhole is capable of designing, building, and shipping in just six hours.
Our commitment to excellence and innovation earned us recognition, including being honored as the 2020 Small Business of the Year for Douglas County, GA. Greba's dedication to quality caught the attention of NBA MVP Stephen Curry, resulting in a custom rush order for Christmas. In 2020, Titan Bags emerged, a brand designed "By Players, For Players," dedicated to advanced and professional-level cornhole players. Sponsoring 12 ACL Pros, which can be seen on ESPN and CBS Sports national events. Titan Bags is on a trajectory of exponential growth and exciting new products for the cornhole market.
Despite the success, Greba remains grounded, crediting his wife and a devoted team for the company's success. The core group of employees, many with several years of commitment, share Greba's vision, contributing to the empire of boards and bean bags.
Balancing a growing family and a thriving business, Greba, with three kids in tow, faces the challenge of achieving an ideal work-life balance. Orders are up, life is good, and West Georgia Cornhole and Titan Bags are not just out of the garage but firmly on the global map.
