Start A Hot Sauce Subscription Box

Here are some real life success stories of starting a hot sauce subscription box:

1. Flaming Licks ($156K/year)

James and Erika came up with the idea for Flaming Licks when James made his own piri-piri sauce as a Christmas gift in 2014. After receiving positive feedback, they launched Sidekick sauces and opened a chili shop in Dorset. They later acquired the hot sauce subscription box, Lick My Dip, and decided to focus their strategy on the subscription business. They now have around 500 active members and plan to grow to 1000 members by the end of next year.

How much they make: $156K/year
Current team size: 3
