Hi /r/recipes! My name is Sue Sullivan and 8 years ago, I started a sauce and dry rub business called Hot Squeeze that became a major hit thanks to the Fancy Food show. Over night, my product went from a few small specialty stores to over 2500 stores across the country, including Whole Foods, Cost Plus World Market, and Harris Teeter — to name a few. Unfortunately, in spite of strong sales, financing issues and some less than nice distributors, I was forced to scale back.
Now, I finally have my big break. I have a meeting with Kroger in two weeks to sell directly and get Hot Squeeze in every single one of their stores nationwide. I've also recruited a team of really smart people to help me along the way.
I need some help, though. I need to give Kroger a compelling reason to take up Hot Squeeze, and I'm starting by giving you guys a choice of a free sample of my signature Sweet Heat Chipotle Sauce or the Sweet Heat Chipotle Dry Rub to spread the word -- something that was only possible thanks to generosity of my current customer base via a Kickstarter campaign.
How to request a sample
You can request the product through the contact form on my website; just make sure to include the product you want, your address (so I know where to ship it to), and your e-mail address — and no, you won't be added to a list; you’ll receive one e-mail from me asking you to do a very short, completely voluntary survey.
How to contact Kroger
And if you like your sample and would like it in your store, please, please reach out to Kroger at 1-855-345-5696 or through their customer comment form (just make sure to put your reason as a 'product comment/inquiry/suggestion/request').
After almost a decade of hard work and a lot of sacrifice, it would mean the world to me.
Sue
bon appetit
