Business is just duckyBy Dave Delozier9News.com

Englewood, CO – A formula for relaxation was what Jennifer Brown and Steve Kudron were searching for when they decided to open a business. They originally saw that formula in the form of a bath soap and loofah sponge.

The products brought them a little success, but saw growth when they added a rubber duck to the package.

“What’s the next best thing that you put with soap? Well, a rubber duck was the natural addition,” Brown said.

Soon they started to find out the addition was the main attraction.

“People started saying, ‘Well can we just have the rubber duck without the soap?'” Brown said.

Brown and Kudron answered that question with a yes. Actually more like a 100,000 yeses.

That is how many rubber ducks the Quacker Gift Shop carries. They have big ducks, small ducks, ducks that squeak and ducks that quack. They also have ducks for pretty much every interest you can image. They have doctor ducks, hippie ducks, firefighter ducks, hockey player ducks and even ninja ducks.

“Wow, I had no idea there were so many ducks,” Brown said.

They even have ducks for all animal lovers, like the cat duck, elephant duck, zebra duck and monkey duck.
