It, what in your POV has made Texas mahjong sort of, uh, the thing right now?

Meredith AjelloGUEST
I really believe that after COVID, one, that everyone realized that they wanted to hang out together.

Meredith AjelloGUEST
They were sick of scrolling and wanted something that was still competitive, but fun, and you can make it as social as you want.

Meredith AjelloGUEST
And I think that ha- you can make your mahjong game however, you know, strict or as fun and different as you want to, whether if you're playing exactly by the books or if you're throwing in other random things.

I love that.

Meredith AjelloGUEST
Um, yeah, because it's not cheap, you know? Like, uh, we understand that it's an investment for people, and Mahjong is an investment if you want it, if you choose for it to be.

Meredith AjelloGUEST
You don't have to by any means, but it's a way to spice up your life and personalize your collections and, like I said, build your personality.

Meredith AjelloGUEST
I think one of the biggest things is to, like, find confidence in your product.

Meredith AjelloGUEST
And not that we didn't have that confidence, but inventory has always been something that we've worked through.

Meredith AjelloGUEST
And obviously we're not constantly going and we have wonderful vendors and all of that, but you don't know what's going to take off.

Meredith AjelloGUEST
And so if I could take a crystal ball, I would say I would love to do some kind of a Focus group, we had one.
