About the Winner

Pam's Pantry offers a line of tase-tempting gourmet dips, dressings, spreads, cheesecake mixes, Bar-B-Q's and picklers. In 2002, Pam Redman's husband was injured and after 14 months of no income coming in, things were getting pretty desperate. They were on the verge of losing everything. Pam's Pantry was borne in November of 2003 to get them out of their financial straits. And the business delivered. What started with 4 simple mixes, has grown to 35 SKUs today along with several valued employees. Sales have gone thru the roof and have exceeded the Redman's wildest dreams. And the revenue is growing rapidly with sales in 2008 surpassed those of 2007 by mid-year. They've built a loyal following, and word of mouth is a big help. They sell from their website at retail stores in 6 states and at numerous craft shows and trade shows. Pam Redman confirms, "We've got a tiger by the tail here and are just hanging on to see where it takes us."
