Moline’s Wild Cherry Spoon Co. Featured In Wall Street Journal
Local company Wild Cherry Spoon Co. was recently featured in last Saturday’s Wall Street Journal – Off Duty, part of the Wall Street Journal Weekend edition. The article featured a kitchen utensil known as a Spurtle, which is a utensil used for porridge/flat oatcakes in Scotland.
CEO, Tim McGuire, 33, said “We were very excited to bring large international exposure not just to our products, but to the Quad Cities region as a whole. This incredible opportunity has already had a significant impact on our sales but we expect will have an even longer-term positive impact on our company. We’ve already seen an increase in interest among stockists, stores who carry our brand, and expect that this will have a positive impact on both our short-term Q4 hiring needs and our long-term growth.”
