Going back before that I grew up, my family was involved in a business, a small business in Warren at ryan Road, an 8 1/2 mile at Topher. And we had that business for 20 years. And when we sold that business, We sold [the business] to a Kaldean family, the Soma family. So you own the liquor store? We own the liquor store. Beer, wine. And so I know what it's like to work in a store, the long hours. (02:55–03:00)
