Scott Murison and Kieran Andrews recently marked their 30th anniversary in business with Wild Rock, a milestone celebrated by many of their loyal followers.
Kieran and Scott are also celebrating with the announcement that two of their long-time employees, Tori Silvera and Jeff Faulds will be acquiring majority ownership of the iconic downtown store. Scott and Kieran will still be around, it’s all part of a carefully crafted succession plan. Congratulations to everyone involved.
Speaking of transitions, Ken and Deb Fraser of The Main Ingredient, recently announced the sale of their business to Mike and Whitney Hall.
Ken and Deb started The Main Ingredient in 1979 and through various permutations have stayed with their original fundamental approach – a buy-what-you-need bulk health food store, selling supplements, ingredients, dried fruits, kitchenware and more.
