The Kuchera's Story

  • Drew Kuchera, Kansas, age 31, CEO at Kucheras BBQ 2009-2016. 
  • I started in 2009 making seasonings from home-grown spices and herbs. These organic seasonings were very popular among friends, family, and local farmers markets. In 2010, I competed against 20 salsa entries and took first place in the mild category and second in the hot category. After winning that contest, my passion for canning food dramatically increased. I perfected each recipe and started making bbq sauce, pickles, salsa, jams, etc. 
  • In 2011-2012, I stocked stores, shipped to 45 states and 10 countries, and was receiving nationwide attention on my quick success. But I failed to keep up with the steady demand for my product, and being only a one-man operation, I had to step back and reevaluate my business plan. I've continued my website sales since then, but am now ready to stock stores again, with a major increase in numbers. 
  • The 2016 plan is to start with 10 stores throughout Kansas. Distribution is already lined up. Each store will stock four varieties of salsa and four varieties of bbq sauce (mild, medium cayenne, hot habanero, and ghost pepper extra hot). After successfully stocking all 10 stores, personally demoing my products at each store, and seeing an increase in demand, I'll move into stocking the Kansas City area stores. I need your help...


What I Need & What You Get

  • $10,000 is what I am shooting for. In all reality, this is very minimal for a start-up business, but I've always been one to start small and work my way up. $10,000 will cover the cost of a small filling machine to increase production time, initial employee overhead, upfront costs for jars/labels/design work/ingredients/kitchen fees/USDA inspection/KSU Food Science testing/etc. 
  • Your contribution to this campaign gives you the chance to experience some of the best quality salsa/bbq sauce you've ever tasted in your life. You'll also be a part of helping my dream come true, seeing my business build and succeed in the years to come. This also allows my current friends and customers to stop paying shipping prices and simply travel to your local grocery store for Kuchera's Products!
  • This campaign is funded in two ways. I'm choosing the flex-funding, so if the $10,000 isn't completely raised, I'll still get the chance to send you products with the lower number of funds generated. Either way, your contribution here guarantees you product for your donation and hopefully we will raise the full $10,000! 


Other Ways You Can Help

Some people just can't contribute, but that doesn't mean they can't help:

  • I appreciate that you are even here, simply reading my story and plan. If you're unable to donate, you can also help me out by word of mouth and by posting my website/fan page onto social media sites!
