Today we’d like to introduce you to Tyrice Hudspeth. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Tyrice and Tevin started off as friends in middles school, had similar things in common coming from a single parent home. We related towards one another and formed a bond later in life , Tyrice is a barber and Tevin become friend, family and client.
Tevin was starting a smoke shop/ convenience store at the time we both shared how the business world was different and how tough it is to get help from our peers. We soon came together and strategize a plan that can shape up things bring the city what’s now! Trending and can become a hot topic so we put our heads together and we said let’s go into business together! So we started UGB BILLIONAIRE SMOKE!
Billionaire smoke is smoke shop like no other, our number one product is exotic pop. It’s different right? Everyone want certain flavors but the community is limited. We wanted to broad the selection, we have a mini boutique a high-end exotic smoke shop ! We have even high-end luxury glass. African Americans isn’t big in the industry for glass so we’re trying change the culture and have an impact on the industry..
We wanted this to create a better job or career platform, we wanted to become better for our community and give the products they buy online or go out of town for ..right in our store! Plus the vibe, atmosphere is incredible
Tyrice and Tevin grew a great bond as business partners and are bout to open up a lounge in downtown and it’ll be all in one shop ! We’ll be launching multiple UGB In our downtown location! Underground beauty, underground babies, underground bistro. We’ve built ourselves from ground zero and have made something out of it .. our motto is born to lose , built to win ! The only smoke we want is Billionaire smoke and we coming full speed ahead!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Been smooth for the most part! We sat down a year planning 10 years ahead and it’s working out in our favor
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
We’re a convince store, high-end boutique .. we have anything and everything you need for your tobacco accessories, from water pipes , tobacco, trays , papers . We’re also known for our Vape & delta 8 & 10 products.. thc o , thc p as well and not to mention our exotic snacks and drinks we even have the best edibles. I think it’s safer I say billionaire smoke is the best smoke shop the state has seen. So many options, our prices beats everyone and we have things you can’t find even exotic tobacco, slapwoods our number one seller
