The old label is centered while the new label is on the right and left. The hot sauce comes in three flavors: Mild, hot and extra hot.
The temperature is controlled by the peppers. The stories of founder Colleen Clancy and Turner intersected a year-and-a-half ago: Clancy began making her hot sauce in after friends encouraged her bottle the recipe she used to spice up pizza.
Her vegetarian friends were looking for a pepperoni replacement and Clancy concocted the sauce as a tofu marinade. It was stocked on the shelves of Michigan natural food stores and gourmet groceries. Visitors to the area would pick up a bottle locally but continue to buy it mail order. Somehow, it ended up in a small number of restaurants around the country, including a gyros shop in Boise, Idaho, Clancy said. The equipment was wearing out.
Partners Colleen Clancy, company founder, and Matt Turner, who invested in the company, are in the company offices at E. Stadium, near Crisler Arena.
But it also got Turner curious about the company. While Turner works with technology and medical device companies, he had become a fan of the hot sauce and wanted to keep it in production. All it needed was a little bit of money and some business development. That meant rebranding and marketing: The label was changed to better announce that it was a hot sauce, keeping the Clancy family crest in the logo along with the shamrocks.
A bar code was added so stores would be more willing to stock it. And a second distributor was identified. And Clancy now does regular samplings are area food stores. And Oprah Winfrey has shown an interest in the hot sauce, Clancy said. It moved several more times in recent years. To position the company for growth and stability, production was moved to a facility in Auburn Hills.
Turner said they are re-writing the business plan every six months. The goal, for now, is to penetrate the regional market, keep the shelves stocked and to break even. I fondly remember being introduced to Clancy's Fancy as a freshman line cook at Seva, making the special yam fries sauce killer combo!
Still my favorite hot sauce. It's great to hear of folks investing in local food companies. I'm curious if there are others I've known local angels and VCs who have privately invested in restaurants, but I've always wondered if there would be the opportunity to build another Eden Foods-scale local food company here? Hi Colleen! That's great news for a wonderful staple that everyone I know around here and beyond love. You look beautiful in that picture, as usual!
Linda Peck. I am overjoyed to hear Colleen is hanging in there. Colleen-all the A2 Easthopes have never stopped rooting for you. Ed, I know. I guess my point was that a particular hot sauce being "wheat free" doesn't strike me as especially unique. Is it uncommon for hot sauces to be wheat free?? I guess if it contains soy sauce there could be concern depending on the particular style of soy sauce. Other than that, I don't really think of hot sauce as being a wheat-containing product.
Best part of the sauce it's local and wheat free! Met her at an event in Birmingham last year, great product!
