Hobbs Nuts | Application Preview
Hobbs Nuts is applying for government grants to enhance their catering business. The funding will be used to purchase more peanuts for boiling, additional wood for smoking, and necessary materials for catering events. The business plans to upgrade from a tent setup to a concession trailer, allowing them to serve in two locations daily instead of just one.
The application highlights the determination of the owner’s husband, who survived a severe motorcycle accident in 2016 that left him disabled. His recovery from a brain injury has fueled the passion for the business, and the owner is committed to supporting him. Previously, he worked in industrial maintenance before his accident.
In terms of competition, Hobbs Nuts has taken over as the only remaining competitor in Rock Hill, SC, following the closure of Spikes. Their competitive edge lies in being rated the best tasting peanuts across 43 counties, setting them apart in the market.
