By the time Bill Penzey left college, he had spent 13 years working at his parents' spice shop in Milwaukee. It seemed natural that he would take over the family business. Instead, he launched a spice company of his own, securing his first orders from a handmade mail-order catalog. Today Penzeys Spices is thriving: The privately held company won't discuss revenues, but in March told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the range is in the tens of millions of dollars. With 270 employees, 600,000 mail-order customers, and 32 retail stores (up from five in 2001, with four more opening by the end of this year), Penzey, 44, has built a fast-growing, innovative company in what was regarded as a sleepy niche of the food industry. Here, in his words, is how he did it.
