ST. GEORGE — What started as a cheeky banana prank quickly baked into something bigger — now it's a full-fledged bread business bringing in the dough.
"It's been a weird, the most out-there thing that we would have never expected," Kate's Banana Bread co-owner Brock Guthrie said.
Guthrie and his wife, Kate Guthrie, are the dynamic duo behind Kate's Banana Bread, a homemade banana bread business that began as an unexpected fluke. Just before their son Finn was born last May, the couple took a leap of faith and quit their jobs to prioritize spending time together. Brock Guthrie had been working for a well-known YouTuber while his wife was building a career in web development.
Knowing it would take time for their new venture to gain traction, they turned to working for DoorDash to keep things afloat after burning through their savings. One day, they stopped at the mall to change their baby's diaper and take a breather. When they returned to their car, they were shocked to find a friend had covered it in over 100 bananas. Confused and amused, they decided to do something about it.
