distributor.

"Our goal one day is to bring it back in-house, but for me being a one-man-show, this works out the best " said Savage

The Kroger story began with a trip to Houston by Savage and his family They stayed there overnight and met with the buyer for Kroger After touching base several times without trying to be too pushy, Savage went for a month without hearing anything Recently, while sitting with his family at restaurant in Sherman, he received an email with a purchase order from the distributor. With that, he knew Kroger had bought in.

"I kind of did a little 'woo hoo' in the restaurant and everybody looked at me funny" said Savage "I didn't care I was excited "

He says that his wife has been fully supportive throughout the process and it's been a leap of faith for her wondering how long he was going to sink money into the salsa dream

"This was validation for us that we have a good product that people like " said Savage "It's not just friends and family trying to make you feel good saying we like your salsa. It's a good product and a good price."

The good news for The Summit Salsa Company is that once product hits the shelf and sells, it

The system is set up to weed out guys like Savage - the 'mom and pops ' Most people in his situation don't go for copackers that do bigger batches so they're not able to get their cost down. Those end up hand delivered to specialty stores. But Savage's dream is to be a large manufacturer one day with Summit Salsa all over the country

"We've got other recipes that we're working on, but we wanted to wait until we were with a big chain to bring them to market " said Savage "We've been patient We've played the game and got our cost down We can't compete with Pace on cost, but we can compete with anyone else "

Summit Salsa Company is getting very close to being available in two other big named grocery stores in the south. But for now, if anyone is interested in purchasing the hometown sweet salsa, it is available at Diamonds in Van Alstyne or Green Market in Sheman.

Getting a salsa company on the shelves in the south is like trying to get wine on the shelf in Napa Valley Everyone has a salsa or a barbecue sauce that claims to be different than the rest Distributors and grocers have become deaf to those two products in particular However, Savage's product seems to be rising to the summit
