The father-daughter pair have persisted in pitching their product to retailers across the U.S., while continuing their online sales and maintaining their existing retail partnerships. They recently were awarded a deal with Lowe's, with The Burro Buddy set to launch in over 1,200 Lowe's stores nationwide on September 5, 2022.  This figure represents nearly 75% of Lowe's total nationwide locations.

The Little Burros was also one of over 500 companies that attended Walmart's Annual Open Call Event for U.S. Manufacturing companies in June 2022. The company received a coveted "golden ticket" deal from the event, and their product is predicted to be available in 1,100 Walmart stores in the spring of 2023.

"There's nothing like The Burro Buddy out there,  it really changes the way you work in the yard, so we are really excited to get these into the hands of Lowe's and Walmart customers," expressed Managing Partner Bob Thorsen.
