Henry McClure @ Shopwave.com - April 1996 to January 1997

I had the notion shopping on the internet would be popular some day. This experience was second to none as an entrepreneur. We did form scratch.

BonFire Grill (Food Service) : This is front-and-center upon entry — an open kitchen/prep area where customers can see fresh food being made daily (burritos, sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, salads, mac & cheese bowls, smoked meats, etc.).
