We all want to run our own business and be the boss. This weeks Small Business Feature has done just that. Matt Soter was working in the hospitality industry for years, but wanted to start something that fulfilled his desire for growth. Enter Nevada Brining Company, Matt started NBC 6 years ago in Las Vegas and has since moved his family and operation to Reno. In addition to fulfilling his desire for growth, NBC was also started to better his all around way of life and use his creative side to produce something amazing. I asked Matt what the best part of owning your own business is and this is what he said, "working with local purveyors, farmers, business owners and the community as a whole daily." It's safe to say Matt is not only following his dream, but helping others achieve theirs as well. He does this by supporting other local business, supporting his community and producing high quality artisanal preservation that are great for any occasion.
NBC offers a favorite of artisanal selections. You have the Classic Deli Style Pickle, "Icky" Pickle (which is a collabortion with Great Basin Brewery using their Ichthyosaur IPA), Stagecoach Carrots, Comstock Cauliflower, Boundary Peppers, Great Basin Beets, Red Ruby Onions and hands down the most popular Boozy Pickles with Bourbon and Fresno Chili's. If you want to purchase any of these amazing products, head over to nevadabrining.com.
Matt and I talked about the effects Covid has had on his revenue. He did a lot of volume with restaurants and due to the decrease in occupancy and sheltering of some venues it has greatly effected that side of his business. Matt said NBC is down 70% in large format restaurant sales. However, because the community is amazing, his supporters love the product and NBC is delicious retail jars are up 70%. I think Matt like all of us are just waiting till this is all over and we can return to business as usual.
