Scott's BBQ in Forest Park

Robert decided to take it to the next level and let the consumers taste the sauce on real barbeque straight off the BBQ grill. He started with two barrel BBQ grills serving on the sidewalk of Woodlawn Krogers stores during the weekends. We began moving to the different Krogers stores every weekend to better promote the sauce. This became so popular with our consumers that it was necessary to increase from two grills to four grills. We then moved to the parking lots of Krogers. A mobile food unit was purchased to enable us to offer homemade side items such as macaroni & cheese, green beans, baked beans,7-up cake and peach cobbler.
