At the end of September in 2018, Scott started working with Strange Boutique to trade his time in exchange for a place to launch the prototype of what is now Fractal Cactus. It was here that Scott would be pushed to create more accessibility for customers to purchase his product, as well as develop his customer service oriented mindset.

In May 2019, Scott would take his first road trip to Tuscon, AZ, in order to establish a wholesale relationship with a vendor who carried the same values. The next month, June 2019, would see a closure of Strange Boutique which allowed Scott to return to his monthly pop-up model, now with a surplus of inventory. In October 2019, Scott would acquire the physical space located on Minnehaha Avenue to move his operations into.

After launching a grand opening in December 2019, Scott experienced the thrill of a successful launch, loyal customers, and the confidence to continue his journey. Since then, Scott has continued to gather positive sentiments from his customers and visitors alike. His store still boasts an exotic and varied collection of cacti and succulents. And, true to his roots, you will find a well curated collection of prints and vintage pulp fiction and sci-fi paperbacks.
