    • Co-Founder Lorraine Cheese, Company
      • Jun 1973 - Mar 1974
      • Pittsfield, Ill (original location)

      Co-founder, along with my father, Charles Grigsby Jr (helped implement Kraft Cheese Crackerbarrel brand for his dear friend Norman Kraft, brother of founder JL Kraft). Together, we purchased an operating cheddar (private label) cheese plant in June 1973. We had a large initial financial shortfall, due to scarcity of capital available. I was fortunate to be able to pay from my accounting income each mortgage payment until we found suitable investors for new investor capital required for survival. I researched nationwide markets to determine where our new type of swiss would be accepted (mostly large cities). Initiated the following; discovery and resolution of employee theft of inventory; obtained full insurance recovery for faulty boiler machinery; canceled unprofitable exclusive sales contract with building seller, enabling plant use for profitable endeavors; preparation of many financial reports to attain SBA loan, aided by Congressman Yates, after suffering first month large operating loss. Also researched alternative sources of milk and obtained inspection of facilities by Kraft quality control department for possible private label production prior to promotion of Lorraine brand (Mom's name is Lorraine). Instrumental in selection of sales force, (the new investors), and coordinated with them initially, in their national marketing plan. Their UNEXCELLED sales efforts were responsible for the AMAZING success of the business. The unique gruyere type of cheese we produced was not the norm for swiss in 1973 before Lorraine Cheese was accepted. Now this "small hole" type of swiss is still in demand in most delis and produced by many manufacturers.Five younger siblings later contributed GREATLY to the company's success once they finished high school/college. Annual sales of $20 million within 7 years becoming number one selling swiss type cheese in US deli cases.Lorraine Cheese was sold to Universal Foods in 1988.
