We are often asked why do we have a happy thistle? Why a thistle at all? The thistle was found while playing golf a decade ago. The thistle is a protector, just as our auto glass protection plans protect you. Let us tell you about the legend of the Scottish Thistle...
The prickly purple thistle was the emblem of Scotland during the reign of Alexander III (1249 - 1286). Legend has it that the Army of King Haakon of Norway was intent on conquering the Scots and landed on the coast of Largs at night to surprise the sleeping Scottish Clansmen. To move more quietly in the night, the Norse removed their footwear. As they drew near the Scots, they weren't the only thing hiding in the cover of darkness. The Norsemen stepped on one of those prickly purple defenders and let out a yelp in pain, alerting the clansmen. The Scots quickly awoke and were ready to fight! And they won, all thanks to our thistle. So now the thistle is the National Emblem of Scotland. The thistle - the great protector of Scotland!
Our Theodore Thistle has all kinds of great stories to share. After all, it is the great protector, and our happy mascot. Theodore Thistle is a lot like one of the most important things that protects you and your vehicle - the auto glass. The Scots protect the thistle and honor it as their emblem because it protected them. Doesn't your auto glass deserve the same? After all, the auto glass protects you, you should protect it! Are you protected? Do you need the thistle?
