Local eatery rebrands to Wild Time Bistro and reports year‑over‑year gains
Summary
Owner/operator Ashley Heating told the council Wild Time has rebranded to 'Wild Time Bistro' to better reflect menu and positioning; the business reported year-end growth (6% up from 2023; 13% up from 2020 metrics referenced) and new merch and signage are planned ahead of Balloons and Tunes.
Ashley Heating updated the board on business operations and a rebrand: the cafe is now 'Wild Time Bistro' to reflect a menu with higher-end items (steaks, chicken, ribs) beyond cafe fare. Heating said the move addresses customer confusion about offerings and that the restaurant saw year-over-year gains: she reported being 6% up from 2023 and noted 13% increases compared with certain earlier benchmarks. "We are now Wild Time Bistro," she said.
Heating described a relaunch with new signage, new merch and promotional pricing to clear old inventory before the new items arrive. She also said the business is competing in a 'Best of Southern Utah' voting campaign and asked board members to help promote voting. The update included operational notes (new cooks, gift shop changes) and a request for community support.
