Cedar Rapids Entrepreneur's Invention Makes Debut On QVC Today
Cedar Rapids mom and entrepreneur Suzanne Weston’s WrapItFast makes its debut on the cable home shopping channel QVC at noon today.
WrapItFast is a novel gift wrapping paper dispenser. The WrapItFast dispenser has a serrated cutting edge that allows for an easy, straight cut, minimizing the need for scissors. In addition, wrapping paper is protected in the sturdy, refillable box.Weston, a former emergency room nurse, caught the entrepreneurial bug while taking an eight-week “Fast Trac” course with her two sons at the University of Iowa John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center.
The Entrepreneurial Development Center in Hiawatha helped Weston test market her idea at a kiosk at Lindale Mall in the fall of 2006. The product was a hit, leading Weston to pursue an agreement with QVC.
WrapItFast appears on QVC during the network’s Christmas Shoppe program.
