Built around a century-old family recipe, Custard Stand Food Products makes hot dog chili and chili soup from its family-run operation in Webster Springs, West Virginia. Dee and Angie Cowger founded the business in 2003 after customers of their 1991 take-out dairy bar kept asking to buy its chili, later taking the products to national grocery shelves and ABC’s *Shark Tank*. The company’s chili is made in the USA and carries the Cowgers’ women-owned, family-business identity.
