Wildside was established back in 1998 in Mt Vernon, IA. We ran shop there for 8 years until we found our location on First Ave in Cedar Rapids. We moved to Cedar Rapids in 2006 and leased the shop for 1 year and then bought the property in 2007. Things were going good and business was good until June of 2008 when the FLOOD came through Cedar Rapids and took everything we had worked so hard for.

Wildside lost everything in the flood. We were lucky to quickly find a temporary location with in 2wks after the flood and were open with in the month. We leased a building on the south east side for 1 year and in the mean time rebuilt Wildside bigger and better than before. We have since moved back to our original location in June 09. We would like to thank our customers & staff who supported us during that difficult time.
