Finding a Market Niche: Business Lessons from The BBQ Cleaner, Episode #111

Dec 14, 2022

Today’s guest is Jeffrey Krentzman, the owner of The BBQ Cleaner and the host of the podcast, “Mind Your Pucking Business.” Jeff looks to help future entrepreneurs start their own BBQ grill cleaning business by arming them with a proven turnkey business model. 

Jeff knew that he wanted his own business early on, but wasn’t sure what direction to go. He was an avid reader of the “International Franchise” magazines, which is where he first heard of the Ovenu cleaning franchise business (based in Europe). Jeff saw an opportunity to bring the concept to the United States. A few months later, he launched his business.

A decade later, he has over 265 locations across the country. Listen in for some great takeaways about launching a franchise, what it’s like running a business with a nationwide presence, and the entrepreneurial mindset.
