Custard Stand Chili in Webster Springs, West Virginia, has gained national attention once again, this time from a Google Super Bowl commercial highlighting local businesses across all 50 states.
The small business, founded by Angie and Dee Cowger, has already achieved significant milestones, including appearances on Shark Tank and distribution in grocery stores nationwide.
For the Cowgers, the Super Bowl commercial is a dream realized, especially for Dee, who had always hoped to either be featured in a Super Bowl ad or make a mark in NASCAR.
While the commercial will air only in West Virginia, they consider it a huge achievement.
The proposal to be included in the campaign came unexpectedly through an email, which Angie initially thought might be a scam. After verifying it, the opportunity became a reality.
This success is seen as a result of hard work, a bit of fate, and a reminder that big dreams can come true, no matter how small the starting point.
For Dee, being in a Super Bowl ad is a momentous achievement, while Angie believes the company’s heartfelt journey and strong community ties may have played a role in attracting the attention of such a major platform.
