NEWS: Happy 15th Anniversary, Firebird Pinball!

Posted on by

Today is an awesome day! This is the date that 15 years ago we started Firebird Pinball full-time. It’s been a tremendous ride, and we’re so grateful to all the people who helped us along the way. Thank you! To help celebrate, here are some sweet throwback pics of Firebird Pinball.

We started collecting pinball machines while we were still in Tucson, way back in the good old aughts. Here’s the first row in our old house. (That Road Kings was our very first game, ever!)
Since pinball was strictly a hobby, we definitely had some humble beginnings.
And then this guy decided to go pro. We gave up our real jobs and moved to Phoenix, where most of our customers lived.
Luckily, his partner in crime was game for this adventure too.
Soon, our little dream became real. And then our business became a family business as M1 decided he liked helping in the shop.
M2 started early as well. He was born the same month we started Firebird!
As our business has grown, we’ve grown.
We were really lucky to share what we do with family, and Leslie’s dad joined the force for many years.
Leslie’s mom joined our art team for a while too.
So when we talk about the history of Firebird Pinball, we’re really talking about the history of us.
So when we talk about how much we’ve grown…
And when we talk about how far we’ve come…
What we’re really talking about is how far WE have grown…
And how far WE have come.
So a great big, tremendous, huge THANK YOU to everyone who’s been there since Day One.
And abundant thanks to everyone who’s joined us along the way. We wouldn’t be here without you.
