Local Business Spotlight Bar-B-Clean Greenwich-Stamford

This Patch article is sponsored by Bar-B-Clean Greenwich-Stamford.

Local businesses are the heart of our communities. Patch had a chance to talk with Alexander Casson, General Manager of Bar-B-Clean Greenwich-Stamford.

Patch: Tell us a bit about your business or organization:

Alexander Casson: Bar-B-Clean Greenwich-Stamford is a CT based Barbecue cleaning and repair company. Our cleaning service is like a makeover for your barbecue. The cleaning provided by Bar-B-Clean will make your barbecue clean to the touch, perform to its fullest potential, your food cooked on the barbecue will taste better, and a cleaning will make your barbecue last longer.

Patch: How long have you been doing business in town?
Alexander Casson: 4 months

Patch: What attracted you to the line of work you’re in, and how did you get started?
Alexander Casson: It's a California-founded franchise which has been around for 10 very successful years--we brought the brand to the east coast (and CT). We saw it as a big opportunity with the rise and popularity of outdoor grilling. Not to mention, there are not a lot of people doing it at the level of cleaning we provide. Our intense process takes 3-4 hours, but the results are amazing.

Patch: What's the most common piece of advice you give to customers?
Alexander Casson: A clean BBQ is a healthy BBQ for you and your family. A quality cleaning will remove harmful carcinogens and food particles that are transferred to your food when cooked. And I know it's tough for some people to hear this, but the reality is if you have not cleaned your grill in the past 6 months, there is a good chance that rats or rodents lived or left dropping inside. So the time to clean your grill is now.

Patch: What’s the most satisfying part of your job?
Alexander Casson: People are blown away when they see the finished clean results. You will not recognize your barbecue once we are done with it!

Patch: How would you say your business or organization distinguishes itself from the others?
Alexander Casson: Customer Service and our unique approach. We completely clean the inside of the barbecue, including the grates, heat plates, burners (we'll unclog them so that it cooks more evenly), the bottom bowl as well at the sides and hood. The whole inside will be clean to the touch. We also clean the drip pan and polish the exterior. We also do a full free inspection of the grill and can offer repairs if needed.
