New Training Program Shares Inventory Management Best Practices
Having inventory doesn’t automatically make someone an expert on inventory management, no more than having a baby instantly makes someone an expert on raising children. You need to figure out what works for you and your business. (more…)
Fishbowl Dedicates 6th Annual Day of Service to U.S. Veterans
Every year Fishbowl employees take one day to focus solely on others’ needs in our community. We step away from our desks, close our office, go outside, and start serving people. We call this our Fishbowl Day of Service. It’s one of our favorite traditions.
We’re excited to announce our 6th annual Day of Service! This time around we will go to Central Utah Veterans Home in Payson, Utah on September 5, 2014.
This project will be unique from all the others we’ve done in the past. We usually go and paint walls, clean up areas, landscape, and do other things with our hands. But this time we’ll go to the Central Utah Veterans Home and serve the men and women who have fought for our country and the freedoms we enjoy. Activities will include interviewing veterans, recording their stories, playing games with them, and doing some minor projects at the facility.
Here are all of the other Days of Service we’ve done over the past five years: (more…)

5th Annual Fishbowl Day of Service
Has it already been a year since the last Fishbowl Day of Service? That’s incredible to me.
It seems like just yesterday that Fishbowl closed its doors and my fellow employees and I (along with many of our spouses and children) went to an elementary school in Payson, Utah to help teachers in their classrooms, repair and replace outdoor equipment, and completely reorganize their library system. It was fantastic. (more…)
Fishbowl Goes to a Really Big Fishbowl
I recently had the privilege of touring The Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy, Utah along with several other Fishbowl employees. It’s an amazing experience being immersed in the sights, sounds, smells, and even feels of the underwater world. They have a huge octopus, several penguins, and sea otters, as well as many varieties of fish, reptiles, and amphibians swimming around in their tanks.
Plus, we got to go behind the scenes and see how everything operates and stays so clean and well-organized day in and day out. (more…)
Utah Named Best State for Business 3rd Year in a Row
It seems like just yesterday that I talked about Utah being named the best place to do business by Forbes. Here we are again to celebrate Utah receiving this honor for the third year in a row!

2 Fishbowl Teams Finish in Rivalry Relay Top 10
Fishbowl, the defending champion of the Rivalry Relay from last year, had four teams (with six runners each) compete in the 62-mile race on August 25, 2012. It was amazing. Several Fishbowl employees who are not regular runners stepped up and raced their guts out. They just wanted to support their teammates and get some great exercise. (more…)
