Pork-N-Pistons | Application Preview
Pork-N-Pistons is seeking government grants to enhance its operations and expand its presence in the community. The funding will be used to purchase a food truck, improve inventory and storage capabilities, and secure quality business insurance. The ultimate goal is to increase staffing levels and transition to a full-time business model.
The business aims to strengthen its ties with the Beach Grove community, where it has already made a name for itself despite operating with limited resources. By the end of the year, Pork-N-Pistons plans to establish multiple concession locations and reinvest revenue into better equipment, with aspirations of eventually owning a restaurant.
As a family and veteran-owned business with deep roots in the Central Township area, Pork-N-Pistons prides itself on values like community outreach, integrity, and friendly service. The founders, who have a combined 16 years of military service, wish to share the warmth of BBQ dining with families in the Indianapolis area. Currently, financial limitations restrict operations to four days a week, but securing additional funding would allow the family to focus entirely on their business.
In terms of competition, Pork-N-Pistons stands out against local establishments such as Pull Up Grill, Holy Smoke Heavenly BBQ, and Gomez BBQ. Their unique selling points include their family and combat veteran ownership, commitment to military values, and a personalized approach to food preparation. They emphasize treating customers with respect and ensuring that all menu items are crafted with care, using distinct recipes and high-quality ingredients. Their capacity for extended operation hours further enhances their competitiveness, promising a unique BBQ experience that cannot be easily replicated.

Business Plan
We plan to grow our business by continuing to reach out to the local community. We have established a name in the Beach Grove area with our limited capability, and intend on setting up multiple concession locations by the end of the year. As revenue is generated, money will be re-invested into better equipment (food truck, smokers), with the intent on eventually purchasing a restaurant. Pork-N-Pistons is a family and veteran owned business. With more than 30 years of living around the Central Township area, the father/son business idea was put into action. Community outreach, integrity, and friendly service are at the core of our standards. After over 16 years of combined service to our nation, we would like to take the hospitality and patriotism that comes with BBQ, to families and friends around the Indianapolis area. Between the father, son, and mother, 5 jobs are worked to maintain the startup of Pork-N-Pistons. We currently can only operate four days a week due to financial constraints. With just a slight financial advantage, the family would be able to allocate and dedicate fully to the family business.
