"Woodward Throwbacks is a passion project turned business. Developed by Detroit residents, Bo Shepherd and Kyle Dubay as a way to furnish their apartments and clean up their streets. Their project began with them riding their bikes around the city searching for reusable materials. It quickly grew from a one-car garage operation to a 24,000-sq.-ft. facility and a nationwide brand that now employs six Detroit locals.

Detroit had over 80,000 abandoned buildings when Bo and Kyle started. Buildings that were full of usable materials and relics of our city’s great manufacturing history. As Woodward Throwbacks developed they focused on affordable sustainability through authentic products created from the collected materials. Being able to thoughtfully mass-produce products in Detroit was the goal. W.T. employs locals, is community driven, and is a model for modern manufacturing" (Woodward Throwbacks, 2021).
