About Savory Spice
We are Mike and Janet Johnston. As avid home cooks and bakers, we have always loved the idea of creating new blends and recipes to share with our family and friends. In 2004, we decided to combine our individual skills and experiences in marketing and in the retail spice industry to open the very first Savory Spice Shop in Denver, Colorado. After the immediate success of our shop, we decided to take our concept a step further and created a Savory Spice website, allowing customers to purchase anything available in the store online. Building on the positive response to our Denver store and internet marketing, we were able to open a second shop in Littleton, Colorado, followed two years later with shops in Boulder and East Denver. Since then our efforts have rapidly moved forward, with the help of employees, family members and professional colleagues, permitting us to open three more locations in Colorado and 20 more across the United States.
Thank you for shopping with us!
