We had the good fortune of connecting with Che R. and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Che, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The idea of starting my own business originated from skills and crafts that I’ve honed over the years! Incorporating things of passion from my already existent life outside of business is where the realization of profiting from said passion derived!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’d like to add that in order to fully experience Detroit is to try the staple of convenient affordable dining, Coney Island. There are various franchises which offer 24 hour dining at most locations!!

Nightclubs and Gentleman club’s have  become popular in Detroit culture for their late night dining experiences as well. Venues like “The Pantheon”, “Truth” and “Views” have contributed to Detroit culture with dishes like Grilled Lamb Chops with “Zip Sauce”
Shopping is essential for any week-long trip to a major city! Local boutiques such as Bob’s Classic Kicks, AYV, Culture Currency, Burn Rubber, Profit Midwest, Chene Parc, Seven Mile Rodeo, Loose Cannon, Revive MI, and Doll House to name a few have a smaller but more exclusive popular collection of trending and soon to be trending fashion. In the heart of the city, spanning the street “Livernois” through Six and Seven to Eight mile Rd is the Avenue of fashion where local designers, retailers and hospitality owners unify with a common goal of bettering the quality of business in our city!
For a more basic shopping experience, mall’s like Somerset, 12 Oaks and Greenfield Plaza are sure to have what you need!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My parents’ outlook adjusted to accommodate my artistry which I am forever appreciate for!

My siblings each have business success in their respective fields and have always encouraged and offered me keys to unopened hypothetical doors.

The many creatives of Detroit who have established and are succeeding at business ownership and creation, whom have supported my vision! Namely providing genuine detailed constructive criticism.
