00:00It's the stained glass windows that draw people and touch people and I think really takes

00:12it out of the realm of a Pizza Hut.

00:14It's the power of transformation.

00:16When things continue to transform, beauty can come from it.

00:20Good things can come out of it.

00:25We bought the Pizza Hut and now we've made it the biggest adult candy store ever.

00:32When you're driving down the road, you see a big green roof and you're in Colorado, well

00:37pretty much two and two means cannabis.

00:39And so now we have our own salad bar with our own type of lettuce, so yeah, it's pretty

00:43nice.

00:48We took everything, 401ks, everything out of the bank and opened up a business that

00:56we had no idea how to run.

00:58It was a big transformation to get it to what it is now.

01:03But those damn windows, Pizza Hut windows.

01:11I'd wanted to start a business on my own since my dad early on had told me, be an entrepreneur

01:19You have your own destiny.

01:20If you succeed, you know you've done it by yourself.

01:25Folks around my age remember going to Pizza Huts as a kid, remember doing the Book It

01:29program, remember the big red plastic cups.

01:32There's a lot of different people with a lot of different backgrounds and yet the memories

01:35all seem very similar.

01:36It almost seems like these could be my memories.

01:39They may not be the most glamorous buildings, like they're not the Guggenheim or anything

01:44like that, but they definitely fill something in our life that we like when we see again.

01:51We feel a warm feeling when we see them again.

01:55This place is a beast, you know, we're doing 250, 300 people in an old Pizza Hut.

02:06One of the generations that struggle is with why we're here.

02:10We didn't choose to come here, but we're here now.

02:15What do we do with the opportunity?

02:21This is a bar in the south and this place breaks that mold in every single way.

02:28To be able to make something fresh and something new out of something that was nostalgic to

02:33people is pretty cool.

02:35I think it's cool when architecture gets saved, even if it is a Pizza Hut.
