Ryan Lane owner operator of Lanes BBQ right here in Georgia has only been in operation for 10 years but is already gaining worldwide exposure. What started as a roadside catering business has transitioned into a big sauce and rub business. If you are looking into starting a rubs n sauces business this is the episode where the curtain is pulled back and you see what some of the biggest challenges are as well as how big you can get. Ryan was dropping gold nugget after gold nugget. He’s seen and started as a bbq guy but he’s striving to be the next Hunts or French’s in the kitchen of the world. From the label design to the sauce itself. It’s part of the process and to date he’s pealed back the curtain even further to help show the bbq lifestyle on a world scale rub n sauce brand, catering company and international sauce boss. How could you see the possibility of selling your locally made bbq sauce you used on your roadside stand on the weekends after doing it as part of the insurance policy change to soften the insurance changes with bbq sauce in Italy, Canada, Australia and others? If you step back and see the Australian market by itself and the ownership they take in Ryan’s business you’d never know some Georgia boy started the process for them to create the MASSIVE business they have in their own right. I fully intend to chat with the ownership down there this year…. To them taking delivery of their last premade in Georgia sauce to the Made in Australia sauce that is coming to them this year. It was less than an hour but I’m sure I have 6 hours of notes and 10 hours more to talk about with Ryan Lane and the LanesBBQ.com brand. It’s a service to people Ryan is good at and he’s fortunate to have it in a BBQ flavored version of vehicle with bbq people being so focused on just creating community and just trying to help out and do the right thing. BBQ family plays a large roll in getting started in your quest and if you don’t mess around and forget the bbq community you are destined to achieve the greatness you deserve.
