Does Utah Have a Household Name?
I am in a minivan with 7 of the Convoi team returning from Zion NP where we did an offsite to get ready for 2024. We are currently debating if Utah has a household name brand. Here are some of the contestants:
Crumbl Cookies
Gabb Wireless
Cotopaxi
Breeze Airways
Black Rifle Coffee
Purple Mattress
LovSac
Kizik
Overstock (now Bed, Bath & Beyond)
Ancestry
BuckedUP
Built Bar
Kodiak Cakes
Traeger
Canvas (Instructure)
Vivint Smart Home
Swig
Chatbooks
I know I am missing many, but this will give you and idea of some great companies started here in Utah. It has been a great conversation while we drive. Do you think we have a household name? Comment if I missed some.
