Gaskets Rock International is looking for one and only one extraordinary individual in the Virginia Beach market. Could that be you?

If you've been looking for a real business opportunity — something you can own, build, and run on your own terms — keep reading.

First: what's a commercial refrigerator gasket?

Every walk-in cooler, prep table, reach-in fridge, and freezer door in every restaurant, grocery store, hospital, hotel kitchen, and school cafeteria has one. It's the rubber seal around the door — and they wear out. Regularly.

When a gasket fails, food spoils, energy costs spike, and health inspections get dicey. Replacing it isn't optional. And the person who shows up with the right gasket, at the right price, with the skill to install it in minutes? That person gets paid — over and over again, from the same customers.

This is also a recession-resistant business. Commercial kitchens don't close when the economy gets bumpy — and they can't operate with failing seals.

Why Gaskets Rock International?

We custom-manufacture every gasket to guarantee a perfect fit, drawn from over 100 different profiles. Our gaskets outperform manufacturer replacements, which is why tens of thousands of commercial kitchens across the country prefer us — and keep calling us back. We're an approved and preferred vendor for major national restaurant groups, including Applebee's, Chick-fil-A, Buffalo Wild Wings, Five Guys, IHOP, Marriott Hotels, and hundreds more.

What the opportunity looks like:

You'll own an exclusive territory covering the Virginia Beach area — a thriving coastal city with hundreds of restaurants, hotels, and facilities that need exactly what you'll be providing. Virginia Beach's food service and hospitality industry runs strong year-round, and this territory has real density and real upside for the right operator.

Your job: sell gaskets, install them (we train you — everything, hands-on), and build relationships with customers who will call you back every time a seal goes bad.
Commission: 40% on all completed sales
Training: Hands-on field training covering product, installation, sales approach, and everything in between — we get you ready before you hit the field
Your upfront costs: basic tools, startup marketing materials and uniforms, and travel and lodging for training — no franchise fees, no royalties, no buy-in
No quotas
Exclusive territory
1099 independent contractor — you run your own business, we back you completely.

Who this is for:

You're mechanically comfortable — not a technician, but you don't shy away from hands-on work. You're a self-starter who wants to own something, not clock in somewhere. You communicate well and build trust easily.

The Managing Partners who do best here tend to come from field sales, trades or facilities work, service business ownership, or territory management. What they have in common: they're comfortable being in the field, they don't need someone looking over their shoulder, and they take pride in doing the job right.

If you need a base salary or hourly pay, this isn't the right fit — and there's no judgment in that. This is a 1099 business ownership opportunity built for people who want real control over their income.

What Managing Partners have to say

"For over 15 years I was a top-tier General Manager for Applebee's. I was a customer of Gaskets Rock and was so impressed with the product, the professionalism, the culture, the training and the support that when the opportunity for Greater Indianapolis became available, I jumped at the chance. The potential for this business is staggering. If you think you may be a good fit, you will never regret your decision coming on board." — Ben Guthrie, Managing Partner, Greater Indianapolis

"When I saw this ad, I said to my wife: I may have just found my last job. Over the years I've owned and operated a number of companies from Alaska to Pennsylvania, but this is the best business I will never own. My income has never been better and my stress level is low." — Ben Winkler, Managing Partner, Arizona
