Success Stories
Before Gerald Young was deployed to Afghanistan in 2003 as a specialist in Iowa’s U.S. Army National Guard, his father promised to share the family’s secret recipe for barbecue sauce upon his son’s safe return home. Young suffered a spinal injury in combat and four of his closet friends were killed in action. He returned determined to honor their service by starting a business.
With his father’s recipe in hand, Young used his experience in the 2010 Krannert EBV program to introduce Young G’s Barbecue Sauce to the market. Patriotically packaged in jars with a red, white and blue label, the product is now available on the shelves of Hy-Vee grocery stores in eight Midwestern states. (Read More)
EBV alumnus Gerald Young launched Young G's Barbecue Sauce in 2010.

I tried Young G’s after a friend recommended it and now I’m hooked. I’m almost done with my first bottle and when I go back to Hy-vee I’ll be buying several to make sure I never run out. A bit sweet and just the right amount of spicy. To top it if it’s made by a fellow veteran! Excellent BBQ sauce!!
