Speaker 3: Yeah, I love being a part of it. You know,

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 3: I grew up in you know, Southeast PA outside of Philly,

34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: and there are a little Hogi shops everywhere, and just

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 3: the memories of when I was a kid and being

36
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: a girl scouter for soccer, like we sold hogies and

37
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: cheese steaks, not bake goods, you know, to raise money

38
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: for field trips or for sporting equipment, you name it.

39
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 3: So being part of a community in the neighborhood is

40
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: I love it. And I love this area and the

41
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,520

53
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,840

56
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: Like this isn't window dressing again, and this is.

57
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: Where everyone goes to watch the Eagles games. Even Lincoln

58
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 3: Financial and the Philadelphia Eagles marketing apartment named us, even

59
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: though I always said we were with the official joint

60
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: but they actually sent us a flag and a certificate

61
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: Lessimus or a last season basically saying that we are

62
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: the official landing spot for the Eagles nests in the

63
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: state of Indiana. My roles are shipped in from South

64
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: Jersey number one. So ten years ago when I first opened,

65
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: I never would open without those rules.

66
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: That's that's like really important.

67
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: It's very important. And most customers when they come in,

68
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: they'll ask who we use, you know, and if we

69
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 3: toast the break, No, we do not. We will never

70
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,840
