Today we’d like to introduce you to Willie Ceasar.
Willie, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I started in the back of my church 8 years ago. One small grill working Friday night and Saturday mornings to sell 1 case of ribs and one case of chicken. After doing this for 8 months we moved to the front of the church and the business opened up. The business picked up some much we had to purchase 2 more grills. The lord is truly blessing us. We have catered for NFL teams. College teams and a host of stars and normal people. Today we are about to open up our own restaurant. We have won several Bbq Contest.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
No, starting out was really rough. Working from 4:00 pm to 12:00 am Friday night and working Saturday morning until 5:00 pm trying to sell 1 case of ribs and 1 case of chicken did not look to promising. Most weeks we lost money. We stayed faithful. Trusted the process and continue to work hard.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Ceasar’s famous ribs – what should we know?
