Club Stoked is closing. I want to thank all the awesome kids that came here and I especially want to thank all the people that gave their time, money and hard work to keep this thing going as long as we did. Matt Cox, Trey Morrow, Kaitlyn Blackwell, Sara Deane, Nicholas Lee Swindle, Jonathan Bussey, Gabe Gonzalez, Ann and Ray, Jeremy McSwain, Brandon LeGardye, Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office (thank you for supporting us and what we were trying to do), anyone I have forgotten - you know who you are.......I could never have done this without you, I love you guys!! We loved having a place for all of you kids to come to and would have continued but the pockets just aren't deep enough to cover all the things required like rent, telephone, tv and internet, insurance, sales tax, admission tax, hospitality tax, employment taxes, permits on the game tables, license fees, power, water, workers comp insurance, liability insurance, wages to my awesome employees (who don't make enough for all they do), repairs, maintenance, damages and thefts from the less than honest visitors, supplies, etc, etc. Thanks to all the new friends out there, do well in school, treat each other with respect, and keep in touch. I can't begin to list all the people that have come here all the time and become our friends because there are too many. We will miss you all! Have a great summer and treat people the way you want to be treated and you will go far in life.
