I love to mystery shop. It gives
me a part of my lifestyle that perhaps I wouldn't have without it. I can see
and do things that I wouldn't consider in my everyday life. Mystery shopping
brings you into contact with new people, experiences and sensations. Trying
something new is a large part of life itself, and especially a part of mystery
shopping. Having the chance to try something that you've not tried before,
sometimes with someone else picking up the tag, is an experience that you can't
afford to miss.
Now I can't pick up the tab for this one, but I can bring you news of a great
new experience that you may not yet have had. It's Mannys Sauces. They've come
into existence from the experience and dedication of Manny, and here's his
story-
“As any other person in the world, I had a huge dream
- to open the first Piri-Piri Chicken Restaurant in the world, and then spread
this dream to every corner of the planet. It wouldn’t be easy to achieve, but
neither was it impossible. I had the will, the courage, the faith and family
support to make it come true. Early in 1985, I sold my home to open the first
piri-piri chicken restaurant outside of Mozambique. CHICKENLAND was the chosen
name and Johannesburg, South Africa was the birth place of my dream! After a
short while, I was making, bottling and selling a range of 5 different
Piri-Piri Sauces and Marinades. After a slow start, the business was a stunning
success! The name quickly spread across the city and everyone was talking about
this new food place that was taking the food industry by storm.
The business success was proven! The next step was expansion to other parts of
the city, country and abroad, and many people tried to get financially
involved. Expansion included a need for capital and people, and so in 1987, I
sold some of my business shares to two young men: one of Portuguese origin and
the other, a South African of Jewish origin. Shortly after they joined, the
business name was changed to NANDOS. Chickenland was a nice name, but according
to marketing experts at the time, it was felt that the business should be
backed by a personal name before the expansion took place. BetweenMANNYS and
NANDOS, I was out-voted two to one, and the latter name was chosen. Despite a
few initial problems, the expansion started taking off and now more than ever,
the success was tremendous!
A few years later, the rug was pulled out from under my feet and I was forced
to leave my business. I lost my dream; one of the best things in my life after
my family. After this happened, I opened a few other restaurants including
Chickenland in Portugal, but these weren’t my dream. It was a way to make a
living, but it wasn’t my passion. It took me a long time to recover from what
happened, but I was determined and pushed through until another dream emerged;
to make the best sauces and speciality food products in the world! MANNYS
SAUCES is now my new dream! Once again I can see this new dream taking shape
and growing strong all the way to the TOP! The passion is back and I again have
the will, the faith, the support of my family, and the support of so many loyal
customers that know and appreciate the high quality products that we make. I am
forever grateful to my family and my customers for their support and the divine
forces for showing me the way.
