My brother Andy and I get invited to tour the offices of Blendtec and the Will It Blend Studio’s in Orem, Utah. if you haven’t seen a Will It Blend video on youtube, you are missing out. Blendtec makes wheat grinders and smoothie blenders seen in Starbucks and Baskin Robins nationwide. While we knew we would be getting a tour, we had no idea Tom Dickson, the CEO would be doing the honors and what a treat it was. We saw every nook and cranny of his great facility. Take a behind the scenes look at how the magic happens… THANK YOU Velda and THANK YOU Tom for the experience of a lifetime!
