Chattanooga hot sauce maker Hoff & Pepper, which appeared on the popular YouTube series “Hot Ones” closed Friday after a decade in business.

“This wasn’t the outcome we hoped for, but after facing long-term financial challenges, we made the difficult decision to shut down operations,” Hoff & Pepper said in a statement posted on its website. “Still, we’re incredibly proud of what we built — and grateful beyond words for the support we received along the way.”
