Cherri Segall-waite Is a true entrepreneur
Nicknamed the Blonde Bomber because of the way she would bomb down the slopes of Purgatory,Durango, Colorado as a kid, Durango native Cherri Segall-Waite said she’s been making salsa all her life.
“They nicknamed me the Blonde Bomber when I was skiing as a little kid,” she said. “I’d just bomb the hill. The lifties used to pick me up and put me on the chairlift because I was so little, and they would call me the Blonde Bomber. I’ve had really blonde hair my whole life and I was kind of a little ski rat when I was little, so it stuck.”
Originally, Segall-Waite would just make salsa for her friends and family. When the demand became too much for her to keep up with, a friend of hers suggested she take her recipe to Durango Artisan Foods.
“My husband came home one day from Silverton and said, ‘I’ve got like 15 more jars of salsa you need to make,’ and was just like, ‘I can’t do this anymore,’” she said.
With 2 flavors of salsa to choose from and one to be released soon these salsas fly off the shelves!
