A Cereal Dream Come True…
Kira Lynn originally moved to Nashville to pursue her music career. While she was actively working as an artist, she also had another dream in the back of her mind: having a place where you could go for cereal at any time of day. “Growing up, I started every morning with a classic bowl of cereal with my dad, and then sometimes another bowl for a late-night snack,” says Kira, “So I LOVE cereal! Opening a cereal bar was something I spoke about so often that my parents advised me to come up with a business plan and a name… which then became Wanna Spoon!”
Kira was introduced to Alane and Steve Kovach, who had been partners in building Nashville restaurants since 2013, including The Stillery and Big Jimmy’s Burgers. The Kovach’s loved her business idea! They were getting ready to open Emery Wood Fired on 12 South, and it just so happened that the residential lot attached to it was the perfect space to convert to Kira’s cereal bar dream!
Wanna Spoon officially opened July 2022. Kira says, “We are so proud and humbled when we look around witnessing all the kids and families smiling, enjoying the atmosphere we did our best to create. I want this place to be a fun experience for all and have you leaving with a great flashback to your childhood memory of eating your favorite bowl of cereal.” Kira will also continue to work on her music, with three new singles -- “Colorado,” “Love You No More,” and "Deeper." Stay tuned for all that’s to come with Nashville’s first cereal bar!
