The first Camden small business IGNITE grant recipient is Blowin’ Smoque, the food truck turned brick-and-mortar barbecue concept located in Camden, New Jersey’s historic Parkside. Blowin’ Smoque was first introduced to Subaru after providing catering to their downtown headquarters and has grown into a Camden staple. FOODWORKS President, John Coker, donated $2,500 to the Blowin’ Smoque team through IGNITE to provide overall support and walked them through the necessary logistics to grow their business by acquiring increased insurance and other operational support. With the IGNITE grant, Blowin’ Smoque can now offer their menu at the SOA café so employees can get a taste of the local Camden food scene and support a local business. FOODWORKS and Subaru are excited to continue supporting and mentoring local businesses in the Camden area. Whether it be supporting insurance costs, addressing questions, or just providing a helping hand, FOODWORKS is eager to welcome more Camden businesses to their IGNITE program lineup.
