@theventure: This guy went from selling pickles out of his trunk to building a $28 million empire 🥒💰 Back in 2008, Travis Grillo is fresh out of college chasing one dream: designing sneakers for Nike. They fly him to headquarters for a tryout and he's sure he's got it. Then they tell him no. Devastated, he heads home to Boston and reaches for the one thing that always gets him through: his family's 100-year-old pickles. He takes a bite, and it hits him. Nobody's selling a pickle that tastes like this. So why not him? He makes them in his apartment at night and sells them out of his trunk at baseball games. Then he builds a wooden cart downtown, selling two pickles for a dollar. ✓ Throws on a giant pickle costume and works the cart in the rain until the local news shows up ✓ Wins people over the moment they taste them ✓ Keeps it fresh and crunchy, nothing but cucumbers, garlic, and dill, while every other pickle is soft and full of preservatives ✓ Gets Whole Foods knocking and lands in 15,000 stores by 2021 Nike says no → bites into his family's 100-year-old pickle → sells them from his trunk → works a cart in a pickle costume → 15,000 stores → sells to the company behind King's Hawaiian. Sometimes the thing worth building was sitting in your own family the whole time. What would you build if you bet on the thing only your family could make? 🤔 #Business #Grillos #Pickles #Success #Entrepreneur@Grillo's Pickles

Great pickles. Not looking forward to it being sold to private equity (I have no info on this. It’s just the way when a brand gets big😞)
