Today we’d like to introduce you to Daric and Shanta Forrest.
Hi Daric & Shanta, we’re so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
We got started March 2018 only selling our FingaLickin Err’ Thang Sauce. After getting such a great buzz, we decided to start selling our famous BBQ in our neighborhood at a nearby gas station in the parking lot. After much success 2019, we rented a kitchen inside of our neighborhood convenient store. We did exceptionally well and was featured on Fox 5 segment “Burgers with Buck” for our famous burger ‘The Buckanator. After appearing on Fox 5 our sales increased and we were buzzing all around town.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
The Pandemic hit us hard and we had some unforeseen repairs and we made the hard decision to close our doors. Two months after closing, we flew to Florida and purchased a food truck and it’s been nothing short of amazing since. We have acquired a new brick and mortar and plan to open it early summer 2022. We’re in prayer that everything goes according to plan and there are no more hiccups. We’ve had our fair share of trials and tribulations on this entrepreneur journey and we truly believe it’s our time.
