Little Rock Inventor Finds Local Market

Shoppers can now find the GoateeSaver, a product of Little Rock inventor Scott Bonge, at the Drug Emporium in Little Rock.

The GoateeSaver Co. LLC released the product, a shaving mouthpiece that guides users while shaving, in June. Through Bonge's intense marketing campaign, the product has made a splash on more than 1,500 Web sites, and has been featured on several radio talk shows, TV stations, newspapers and magazines around the globe. 

Just last week, the GoateeSaver went from exclusive online sales to retail availability when Drug Emporium added the product to its inventory.

"I am truly honored that a store in my hometown has chosen to be the first to sell the product my wife and I worked so hard to create," Scott Bonge said in a news release.  "It's great to see a local business, like Drug Emporium, giving local people like us a great start at getting their locally-owned companies heading in the right direction."

Drug Emporium is located at 9112 N. Rodney Parham Rd. in the Ashley Square Shopping Center.
