"St. Charles hot sauce business owners win ‘Small Business Persons of the Year’ award in Illinois"

We are so grateful to the Daily Herald and Kane County Chronicle newspapers for doing a featured story about Gindo's Spice of Life in their business section this week! This past month, owners Chris and Mary Ginder were honored with the SBA's Small Business Persons of the Year Award in Illinois - an honor that is bestowed upon one business per state! Journalist Susan O'Neill did a wonderful job of showcasing our journey since we first launched our company in 2011.

"This year's Small Business Week theme, "Building a Better America Through Entrepreneurship," highlights the resilience, ingenuity and creativity of these award winners who, like millions of small businesses, have navigated challenges from the pandemic and contributed to our nation's economic comeback, according to a news release from the U.S. Small Business Administration. "The Ginder's story is one of creativity, smart business sense, diligence and community spirit," said Batavia Chamber Communications and Membership Coordinator Shirley Mott, who nominated the couple for the award. "Congratulations to a fine business expertly owned and managed by this dynamic husband-wife team.""
