H3, the parent company of the HipHopsodaShop™ and the first publicly traded Hip-Hop Company, announced the beginning process to open the second HipHopSodaShop™ in Miami. The agreement was signed March 6th by Dr. Benjamin Chavis with Robert Clarington, Jr, Owner and General Manager of SILQUI’S Seafood and Steak Restaurant and Lounge..
Dr. Benjamin Chavis, President and CEO of HS stated, “Today H3 Enterprises, Inc. is moving forward with our business plan to open HipHopSodaShop’s™ in major cities across America. Miami is a key world class city with great economic development vitality. Miami is also an international hug of hip-hop culture with some of the world’s greatest artistic talent. We had been searching for the best possible business expansion opportunity in Miami after successfully opening our first HipHopSodaShop™ in Tamp three months ago. SILQUI’S is a well established profitable business, and Robert Clarington is one of the most respected businessmen in Miami and Dade County. We are pleased that our discussions together have been productive and led to the signing of a detailed Letter of Intent Agreement. We will now move expeditiously to consummate a Joint Venture Agreement between H# Inc. and SILQUI’S, as we prepare to open Miami’s first HipHopSodaShop™ and H3’s Inc. second business unit.”
The site of HipHopSodaShop™ will be located at SILQUIS, 167th Street, Miami Gardens featuring hip-hop and R&B music, videos, recording studio, merchandise, great tasting food and beverage and even the state of the art Microsoft Xbox 360 Competitive Online Video Gaming Center.
Eric Pettus, Founder and Owner of Pettus & Dawkins Financial Group, who introduced this site to H3 Inc.’s Chairman Keith Chutjian, commented, “I am looking forward to blending the success of Robert Clarington’s SILQUIS and the HipHopSodaShop™ brand together to bring real financial empowerment to the Greater Miami Area community and beyond. This is a historic moment!”
“I must admit that when H3 approached me and asked me to help find an existing location in Miami to joint venture with, SILQUI’S came to mind immediately, but I was skeptical,” said Mr. Pettus. “Let’s be honest. Most companies would have come into the community opened up and put a successful entrepreneur like Rob out of business. When I listened to Dr. Ben Chavis (a living legend in the civil rights struggle), talk about the HipHopSodaShop™ concept, and his vision for the brand. I allowed myself to dream of the infinite possibilities of combining the success of SILQUI’s and the power of the publicly traded company together. HipHopSodaShop™ Miami is going to be Hot!”
Robert Clarington added, “I would like to thank Dr. Ben Chavis and H3 Enterprises, Inc. for the opportunity to enhance my dream of bringing upscale dining and a smooth entertainment environment ot the largest black city in the state of Florida, the beautiful Miami Gardens. For those who have experience the smooth vibe of SILQUI’S, you can look forward to that and so much more. So stay tuned because the HipHopSodaShop™ in Miami will be an experience that has yet to be seen.”
