MARINA UBREAK IPHIX PLUS

Of the first three buildings at the Dunes restaurant/retail site, Kim’s business, plus two other local owners, will almost fill out the retail spots. He came to my store to look at my business, to meet me and shake my hand,” said Kim. It is that kind of business and business-owner Negri said he wanted. “He chased me down … called me … and wanted my business there,” said Kim. Kim gives credit to Scott Negri, the developer of the Dunes site, for pursuing and encouraging him. The repair shops employ seven people and will likely be adding three more positions once the Marina site is open. Main Street in Salinas has been in business for six of the ten years Kim has been plying his trade and his shop at 443 Canyon Del Rey Boulevard in Del Rey Oaks has been open for five years. “He was leery of the concept but my enthusiasm convinced him to give me a shot,” said Kim. He wanted the security of a franchise or something he had heard of and had some knowledge about, said Kim. He did not really understand what kind of business Kim was in. Kim jumped on the opportunity, met with the landlord and secured his first shop.Īccording to Kim, the landlord was a hard sell.

One day Kim left his pseudo-office at Starbucks on South Main Street in Salinas when he saw the storefront next door was available for lease. That part of his enterprise afforded him the ability to travel even more, make more resales, and to put away seed money to fund what would become his brick and mortar presence. They wanted the one item nobody else had,” said Kim. So Kim came up with the idea to finance his travels by purchasing iPhones in the U.S., then reselling them, in the eastern European countries he visited, for a huge profit. On his adventures he discovered people in other countries were amazed and enamored by the Apple smartphone and offered to buy his for big bucks. Kim said he was able to make enough money to travel. “People were using BlackBerries and Palm devices, but I was big on iPhone” and many others would follow suit. “iPhone was a novelty back then,” in 2007, said Kim.
