LOVING FREEDOM, BACON & WHISKEY:
THE BRAND BUILDING STORY OF GRUNT STYLE

“You all can go to hell, and I’ll go to Texas.”
-Davy Crockett


Those were the words printed on a Grunt Style t-shirt when CEO Daniel Alarik announced their corporate headquarters move to San Antonio.

Daniel Alarik has been called “America’s Grittiest Entrepreneur.” Why? Because he nearly shut down the business 12 times and persevered. His money was stolen and he kept going. His wife had cancer and they pressed on.

Starting with 1,200, today Grunt Style is valued at over 100 million. Alarik, a former US Army drill sergeant, created a lifestyle clothing brand that few others could build - one in touch with a new generation of patriotic Americans.

As the Grunt Style website says," You don't have to be a veteran to wear Grunt Style, but you do have to love Freedom, Bacon, and Whiskey.”

Daniel, welcome to Texas.

Join ACG Central Texas and hear Daniel Alarik tell his story of how Grunt Style became America’s lifestyle brand for the warrior class.
