First off I want to thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart for all the memories and most of all for all the support over the years🙏
As we lock up shop for the last time it's overwhelming the emotions I feel😮💨
Being a High school drop out with no GED or experience at all when it comes to business Hyped was a gamble. Not only for myself but for my family with not knowing if this idea was actually going to work. I left behind the highest paid job Ive ever been able to score on that gamble even when my General Manager at the time begged me to put a 2 week notice in😮💨i simply said with teary eyes “that to me is a life boat and I need to be able to swim to shore”. I can honestly say we made it but not without the blood, sweat, and tears like any other small businesses. My main goal was to instill in my children minds that they can do whatever they want in life and I believe that goal was achieved.
Some of my favorite parts was meeting a lot of you. You hear about strangers becoming your biggest supporters well I'm here to tell you first hand it's true(you know who you are) Another fond memory was when we moved locations then bringing on Fei from . Honestly I was hesitant to bring anyone on because I've always lived by “if you want it done right, do it yourself” but couldn't have brought on a better partner to join the journey with me and lighten the load. Thank you for that🙏then came my young pad won (Emoney) who was a regular from the beginning. Both became two of my best friends and had to make sure they embarked on the journey with me which trumped the whole do it yourself saying. You never know you need help with your sanity until you allow people to help so thank you dudes for that 🙏ill truly miss laughing, talking s**t, and kicking it with y'all in shop‼️
Then to my support system😅my family that is. All of you are and have always been my biggest cheerleaders throughout this journey especially my wife, mom, sister, and brother! Thank you all for everything each of you have done to help me maintain the success all these years🙏
