Exploring Life & Business with Jonathan Shrednick of Completely Pickled

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jonathan Shrednick

Hi Jonathan, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Hello. My pickle story got started in 2014 when I was in Target doing some routine shopping and saw Mason Jars on clearance. I was like, im bored and i want to make a better pickle so for me. I was currently working part time so I had time. So I purchased the jars, went to a couple markets to get ingredients like pickling cucumbers, spices, the proper salt, jalapeños etc. When I finally was ready to create my very own.pickles, I noticed a had no vinegar which I thought I had. But I did have Apple Cider Vinegar in the house. No recipe online used ACV, so I said, what the heck, let’s just make it with ACV. The pickles turned out to be amazing. I took a jar to my work and everyone was like “this is the best pickle I’ve ever had”. Then word got around and I was making batches for friends and family. That is how Completely Pickled got started.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Finding great people to help me go on this journey was the first obstacle. I had to start small and build relationships along the way. Start up capital was another obstacle so I had to max my credit cards to support the endeavor.
