Sauer Brands rebrands to honor iconic mayonnaise
A longtime Central Virginia food production company has rebranded itself in honor of its most well-known products. In a statement Monday, Oct. 26, Richmond-based Sauer Brands Inc. announced its name, effective immediately, will be Duke's Mayo Company, reflecting the company's most popular condiment. Company officials changed the name after the recent selloff of its spice business, a product the company had made since it was started 139 years ago. “Duke’s Mayo Company is a name that says plainly what this company is about, which is a dedication to flavor and scaling high-growth condiments,” Duke's Mayo CEO Yuri Hermida said in the statement. “Chefs, operators and families choose our brands for their exceptional taste and high-quality ingredients. Leading with Duke’s gives us a name that carries that reputation into every conversation, across every brand we make and every kitchen we serve.” It is the company's second rebranding in six years. In 2020, the company changed from C.F. Sauer Co. to Sauer Brands. Sauer Brands began manufacturing Duke's Mayonnaise in 1929, buying out the business and recipe from original creator Eugenia Duke, who began it 12 years earlier at her restaurant in Greenville, South Carolina. For years, it was created at the

Former hairstylist and nail tech battles lung cancer after decades of chemical exposure

(Aging Untold) — For 35 years, Jeorgi Golden knew the ins and outs of the salon, working as a Black hairstylist where coworkers and clients became family. “I started in the late 70s, early 80s,” Golden said. “It was more like being a social worker or a counselor because we talked about everything.”

This Richmond shop has over 1,000 Mexican cowboy boots
Petra Santos started her Mexican cowboy boot business in a 5-by-5-foot booth at the Bellwood Flea Market. Sixteen years later, her family is opening its third store inside a 4,000-square-foot building in Midlothian. Why it matters: Bota Latina on Hull Street has become a destination for Mexican western wear, drawing shoppers from Fredericksburg to Virginia Beach and fueling the family business's expansion. The latest: Bota Latina's new store opens Nov. 7 at 7419 Midlothian Turnpike, featuring a custom cowboy hat bar where shoppers can shape their hats, choose brims and add personalized branding. It'll also carry American western brands like Durango, Ariat, and Tecovas , alongside the family's signature Mexican-made boots. But the original Richmond shop at 5521 Hull Street will stick with only Mexican-made western wear — the boots that started it all, Santos' daughter Deyli Navarro tells Axios. Catch up quick: Santos launched the business in 2010 and moved into the Hull Street shop in 2016, which she and her three kids run and call "our OG store." Growing demand from Northern Virginia customers prompted a second location in Woodbridge in 2022. Imagine seeing this everywhere you look.
