Recent WestConn Graduate launches successful Gourmet BBQ Sauce Business

Jonathan Soares transferred to WestConn in spring 2003 after spending a semester at the University of Rhode Island.

Once here, he dove into both his studies and his start-up business, Q Products Inc., which markets his line of Jonathans Q Gourmet BBQ Sauces.

Ive always loved selling, marketing new products and coming up with new ideas, Soares says. I knew I wanted to start my own company, which made me lean towards the marketing degree. Soares graduated from WestConn in May of 2006.

Soares combined his own initiative and ideas with the expertise offered by his professors at the Ancell School of Business to successfully market his products, which now are found in thousands of grocery stores across the United States.
