Kelly Josberger

Kelly Josberger is one of the founders and owners of Stumpy's Hatchet House, America's first indoor axe throwing venue.2 She co-founded the business with her husband Stuart Josberger and their friends Mark and Trish Oliphant.1

Background and Business Concept

The idea for Stumpy's Hatchet House originated in 2015 during a casual backyard barbecue. Kelly, Stuart, and their friends discovered the fun of throwing axes at a makeshift target, which eventually led them to develop the concept of an indoor axe-throwing venue.1

Business Launch and Growth

Kelly and her co-founders opened the first Stumpy's Hatchet House in April 2016.3 The business has since expanded, with Kelly now specifically involved as a Business Owner at the Jacksonville, Florida location.4

Business Philosophy

• Birthday celebrations
• Team-building events
