The first question everyone had was what kind of exotic snakes would be in the business. Hamzah Alnwisi, representing the vape shop, clarified it was exotic SNACKS, not snakes.

He went on to say they are starting with a small vape shop that will sell tobacco products, CBD, and vaping products. The building will be separated and a restaurant serving New York Style sandwiches will be on the opposite side of the vape shop, essentially have 2 stores in one building. The restaurant will start with no inside dining, but will utilize take out and the drive through.

Chism asked how many entrances, and Alnwisi said most likely two and then the drive through. Alnwisi added that if the restaurant takes off, it could possibly take over the whole building.

Warren asked what the timeline was for opening, and was told 2-3 months, depending on how soon they can get contractors.

Shaw asked how the setup would be, and it was explained there will be a dividing wall and the restaurant patrons will not see the vape shop.
