URBANDALE, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa company has rewarded 174 of its workers with a $50,000 shopping spree at Jordan Creek Town Center in Urbandale just outside Des Moines.

Des Moines television station KCCI reports (https://bit.ly/1l2YrJ4 ) that the Interstate Battery workers - all dressed in green - lined up outside the mall Friday afternoon for two hours of shopping. With $50,000 to spend, that came to nearly $300 per worker.

The company, which distributes all kinds of batteries in several states, says the shopping spree was a reward to workers at the Urbandale store for meeting aggressive sales goals last year.
