How did you give you the call?
Originally named B&W Grill Cleaners, Homegrown College Grill Cleaners aims to thrill clients byby extensively cleaning and degreasing the indoors and exterior of each part of their grill. Our call happened when we founded the business in 2017 as university students. We need this name to help construct our reputation, as we began this business in our hometowns, Bedford and Pound Ridge, which became the birthplace of a very successful enterprise. Also, we would love our commercial enterprise to function as a platform for future university students to expand their entrepreneurial spirits in a way that lets university students develop as college students and future leaders.
Why begin an enterprise in this metropolis?
We were born and raised in the area and have grown and understood how to efficiently market and grow as a competitive grill cleansing enterprise. Also, we feel there are only a few grill-cleaning corporations within the tri-kingdom area that arrive miles from the marketplace inside Westchester County. This will permit us to extend exponentially as an enterprise andand deliver miles wished as a provider to all clients.
What enterprise are you in?
We are in the cleansing offerings industry. We mainly smooth doors and barbecue grills but can assist with minor fixes based on a man’s or woman’s desires. We can also refill all propane tanks to help a client’s grill work smoothly.
What’s the biggest mission you’ve faced as an enterprise proprietor?
The project we faced the most was our grill cleaning craft. There are many methods to clean a grill, but none have the cleanest effects. We conducted a trial-and-error technique on many grill cleaning products. Through limitless struggles, we have been able to locate merchandise capable of imparting an in-intensity cleaning of all grills in a greenway, even improving the longevity of our client’s restaurants.
