VUE: Where are the stores currently?
Ira: We started working our way down the East
Coast. Going up north, we're just outside of
Boston. And you work your way down into New
York, New York City, Long Island, Paramus, New
Jersey, down to Washington, D.C., and then down
into the South. We'll be opening in Atlanta later
this year. We've already opened in Dallas. We'll be
opening in Houston, we'll be opening in Austin,
we'll be opening in Miami, we'll be opening in
Chicago, we'll be opening in Boston; these are all
deals that are signed and already public at this
point. We're working our way west. We'll open in
Los Angeles and Denver, Colorado next year. So
you'll see us not only up and down the East Coast,
but through Texas, up the West Coast, and lots of
important cities in between.
VUE: at's incredible. It seems like you can tell the
passion that you're enjoying what you do, which, to
me, is the most important thing in the entire world.
If you don't love what you're doing, then...
Ira: It is. And the passion doesn't just sit with me.
It sits with our incredibly talented team, who is
thrilled to be entering this next phase. Some of
them have been with us along the 15-year journey,
some of them have joined recently, but we share a
like-minded vision of what tomorrow looks like.
