Army-Navy Game,Tailgate Tradition,Explosive

The General's Hot Sauce was founded by veterans in 2016. It has since been recognized as one of the fastest-growing businesses in the nation as it supports veterans' causes.

An Army-Navy game tailgate tradition ignited one of America's most explosive business success stories. The General's Hot Sauce, a veteran-owned business based in Columbia, South Carolina, packs a fusillade of flavor in eye-catching grenade-shaped bottles. It sources hot peppers from nearby farmers while donating a portion of profits each year to other veteran-owned organizations. HOMESCHOOLED CHILDREN PAY TRIBUTE TO MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT FR.

We use a decidedly ineffective process to make our sauce," CEO and co-founder Dan Ballister, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, told FOX Business in an interview. "It's manual. It's hard work. But it's worth it." The General's Hot Sauce was founded in 2016. It's since cracked the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing privately owned businesses in America each of the past two years .

American farmers simply grow a better product, he also said, with better agricultural standards and practices than those in other nations. Success for The General's Hot Sauce has allowed it to contribute more than $750,000 in recent years to organizations that aid America's veterans and their families.

Among the recent recipients of The General's assistance: the Boulder Crest Foundation in Virginia, the Warrior Alliance in Atlanta and the Warrior Canine Connection in Maryland. The General's Hot Sauce is also hosting a virtual tailgate for the Army-Navy game on Dec. 9. Funds raised during the online event will benefit The Big Red Barn Retreat in South Carolina. "Service isn't something you did," said Ballister. "It's who you are." For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle.
