At the ribbon cutting for new owner of Spot On Nutrition were: John Bardsley (City of Lisbon), Tom Wieseler (Mount Vernon mayor), Jake Krob (Mount Vernon Bank and Trust), Courtney Frye-Speed (Bridge Community Bank), Ali Worrell (new owner Spot On Nutrition), Michelle Zaruba (Hills Bank and Trust), Jessie Thurn (Mount Vernon Lisbon Community Development Group director), Ashley Dunford (Mount Vernon Bank and Trust) and Brenda Langenberg (Hills Bank and Trust).
Ali Worrell is the new owner of Spot On Nutrition in Mount Vernon.
Worrell owns a similar energy tea shop in North Liberty, and has always loved the Mount Vernon and Lisbon area.
“I told Machelle [Henneberry] that if she was ever looking to sell the location, I would be interested,” Worrell said. “I got that call this past September that she was selling, and bought the business.”
Aside from the change in ownership, the products and staff for the spot remain the same. They still offer energy teas and protein coffee and shakes.
Worrell said one of the small changes that has been made has been being closed on Mondays.
“I don’t know if it’s just because so many other businesses in uptown are also closed on Mondays, but we’re just not seeing a lot of customers on that day of the week,” Worrell said. “We may revisit that in the future, though.”
People can still call their orders in advance of pick-up. Or if people prefer, they can still order the products to make shakes at home.
One new change that the shop is offering is delivery orders on Wednesdays to work places within the area.
Worrell is keeping the name of the business, but they have a new Facebook Page – Spot On Nutrition – Mount Vernon. Spot On Nutrition is located at 106 First Avenue North (behind Mount Vernon Pharmacy).
Spot On Nutrition is open 6:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. Orders can be called in at 319-895-8045 or sent via Facebook Messenger.
