Our Story

Nap’s Original LLC is a Cleveland based, Black owned hot sauce brand built on family, flavor, and legacy. The company was founded by Xavia King and her grandfather, Napoleon Thompson, during a challenging period that brought their family even closer together. What began as a homemade recipe in the kitchen grew into a business centered on authenticity, tradition, and community.

Today, Nap’s Original carries forward that spirit by crafting sauces with bold roasted flavors and a commitment to quality. Every bottle reflects the heat, heart, and heritage that inspired its creation and continues to guide the mission.
