Patrick Anderson has wanted to be his own boss since he was a youngster growing up in Kodiak. At just 27 years old, he has already realized his dream.Â
In addition to managing an auto shop, Anderson owns two businesses: Kodiak Car Keys and Kodiak Tactical, a gun store.Â
âIâve been taking business classes and studying. If I see a niche that no one has filled yet, I just want to jump on it,â he said.Â
For Anderson, those niches include key reprogramming â replacing electronic and computer chip keys â and selling guns. Â
Anderson started Kodiak Car Keys in December 2019 when he saw a big need for a business that could provide car key repair and replacement, as well as help with lock and unlock immobilizers.
