Um, you know, costs right now, you start doing business. So, you know, I found, you know, I thought we were going to be doing this for a couple more years and then an opportunity for this space popped up and I just knew it was the right spot. Everything about it was right. I could afford it. And the area that it's in is not typical there. And this landlord, he gave me a chance.

So he gave me a chance. My best friend in Chicago helped me. He's a business guy. That's huge because he's in the logistics business. Nice. So knowing the long-term goal, he was like, hey, he committed to jumping in, and that's not easy to do. He's already busy as fuck. So our families, our friends were tight. He's my best friend. We... built this thing last year, and it was hard.

A lot of things, a lot of delays happened, a lot of struggles. Got through it, opened the doors, and it was like before I opened the doors, it was just nightmares of like total failure and everything I've committed up to that, all of our money. our home equity, you know, to make this beautiful shop that I had in my mind for years. You dumped everything into it.

Yeah, and so then we opened the doors, and it just hit right from day one. And I was on my knees at home just thinking, God, you know, hey... It's working. And then it kept working, you know, and the cold months slow down, you know, certain days, Monday, Wednesday, that's typical for everybody. But now we're going to start having some lunch menu items.

They had to trust me to get this thing open.

I had to trust them that they were going to, you know, be committed to the dream, which is going to lead to more dreams for them, you know. And, you know, them knowing my full intentions is to help them to that through me. And it's working out. There's hard things going on. The hardest struggle is probably the culture of it all.

Assuring that the customer experience when I'm not there is similar to when I'm there. And you can't get anybody to care about it as much as you, but for sure they do. You know, but now it's everybody else. My manager, you know, does. And now it's the teenagers and they're awesome. They're all kicking ass. Nice.
