Big Dog Sauce Grand Opening: A Flavorful Celebration!

A Big Day for Big Dog Sauce

The grand opening of Big Dog Sauce Company’s Hillsboro, NH store was nothing short of incredible! 🎉 After weeks of preparation — and a marathon cooking session of 15 pork butts smoked overnight — the team welcomed hundreds of visitors for a day filled with flavor, community, and celebration. From the official ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. to sampling stations of sauces, rubs, and gourmet popcorn, the day reflected the company’s mission: great taste, strong community ties, and supporting other local makers.

What Was on the Shelves

Guests got their first look at the expanded product lineup available in-store, including:

• All eight Big Dog Sauce flavors + seasonal releases

• Champion Seasoning and other signature rubs

• Fresh local sausages, steaks, and baby back ribs

• Locally-made ice cream, sodas, and bagels

• Specialty items like Johnny Hexburg Hot Sauces and Ken’s Corn Gourmet Popcorn

• Real barrel-aged maple syrup from local producers

  
  

From Pop-Ups to Permanent

"Just three years ago, we were selling out of the back of a car at weekend events… now we have our own store." – Dan Lloyd

What began as a side hustle — selling sauces at competitions, food festivals, and pop-up events — has evolved into a brick-and-mortar retail space that’s both a culinary destination and a hub for supporting other New England small businesses.

Community Support in Action

Phyllis Lloyd noted the overwhelming support from the Hillsboro community, which started during the soft opening in January and has only grown since. The turnout at the grand opening exceeded expectations, with visitors coming from all over New Hampshire and beyond.
