Meet Our Team
Meet Wesley
Wesley Lassen has owned The Cook Store since 1999. “Our customers are the most important part of each day from the moment the front door is unlocked,” said Wesley, who along with her apricot-colored Goldendoodle, Lucy, greets many of those customers.
Meet the Tribe
“Behind every successful woman is a tribe of amazing people who have her back,” contends Wesley, whose tribe includes nine team members other than herself. Her mom is counted among those as she still helps at the store, although not as frequently as she did when Wesley followed up on her suggestion and bought the store 23 years ago.
“We have a faithful group; everyone works as if the store were their own,” said Wesley, who recruits team members with ties to the community.
