Sharon and Randy Jackson started their catering company, As Good As It Gets Catering, in August 2007 and are already looking at expanding their catering services and expanding into banquet services.
“I would like to expand and would like to at some point, have our own banquet hall so we can supply that — sort of like a restaurant,” Sharon Jackson says.
The Jacksons cater for a variety of events and have nabbed some large corporate clients.
“We serve a variety of food and most of it's home cooked so it’s well seasoned,” she says. “We also cook soul food if requested.”
In August 2007, the Jackson’s opened As Good As It Gets Catering, which is located at 1105 River Street on Lansing’s Southside. This is the Jacksons’ first foray into the food and restaurant business. Sharon has always enjoyed cooking large meals and when she moved to Lansing from Detroit, she decided to try her hand at cooking for a living.
“I’m from Detroit and there is always something available to eat, no matter if it’s day or night,” she says. “We couldn’t find that here.”
Jackson says as the company continues to grow, she’ll continue looking at her banquet and expansion opportunities.
