“I think that we see them as neighborhood hubs and when we go into a spot, we kind of think of it as, this is where people are going to go to have conversation and this is where people are going to go to meet up and have important moments in their life.” – [06:37]Chad Cline
“There’s kings, as far as customers, and there’s stars. The stars are the ones that’ll come in and pajamas; those are the ones that have no problem with having some fun. Kings come in and they don’t even like to be spoken to that much, they want service… we cater to the stars.” – [18:51]Chad Cline
“You always have to be adaptable and you always have to be making changes and be self aware enough to look at yourself and say: ‘okay, what am I doing and why am I doing this? Is this for the right reasons?.” [25:11]– Derek Marso
