Meet Derrek Hoffman | Co-Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Derrek Hoffman and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Derrek, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
I take great proud in my store and continue to work like it’s our first day in business. Also, building a team that shares the same vision and taking care of the people around me.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am most proud of the community and atmosphere we have built at the store. Everyone is welcomed and treated more of a friend than a customer. We get all different types of people in our store from sneakerheads to families shopping for sports gear which is so unique to me. I moved to Cleveland from Buffalo to open a second store so I was nervous how the perception would be, but Cleveland has become my home and everyone welcomed me with open arms. Was very difficult to be established in Buffalo and go back to square one in Cleveland but also fun to meet new people and start fresh.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would show them the rock and roll hall of fame as well as taking them to multiple sporting events. Cleveland takes great proud in their sports and you see that at events.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My business partners Vince Spano and Jarrett Brown, constantly getting the best out of each other and brainstorming new ideas together.
