 Help Us Build More Than a Bar — Help Us Build a Community
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 My name is Bryan, and I am working to bring a dream called SMOOCHES to life in Memphis, Tennessee.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 SMOOCHES is being created as a restaurant, bar, nightclub, and live-entertainment destination — but my vision has always been about something much bigger than food, drinks, music, or a night out.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I want SMOOCHES to be a place where people come together.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 A place where you can walk through the doors after a difficult week and, for a few hours, forget about everything weighing on you.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 A place where you can celebrate a birthday, meet new friends, have dinner with people you love, enjoy a cocktail, watch an amazing show, dance, laugh until your stomach hurts, and leave feeling a little better than when you came in.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Most importantly, I want SMOOCHES to be a place where people feel welcome, seen, respected, and part of something.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Why SMOOCHES Matters to Me
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Opening SMOOCHES isn't simply a business idea to me.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 It is a dream.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I've spent countless hours imagining what this place could become — from the food and cocktails to the entertainment, atmosphere, employees, performers, special events, and those little details that make a place feel special.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 But the part that means the most to me is imagining the people who will eventually fill the room.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I imagine tables full of friends laughing.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I imagine someone celebrating a birthday they'll remember for years.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I imagine performers stepping onto our stage and having another place in Memphis to showcase their talent.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I imagine new friendships starting over dinner or drinks.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I imagine employees finding jobs and opportunities.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I imagine someone walking into SMOOCHES alone and eventually realizing that they aren't alone anymore.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 That's the kind of place I want to build.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Because sometimes a restaurant isn't just a restaurant.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Sometimes a bar isn't just a bar.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Sometimes the place where people eat, drink, laugh, dance, celebrate, and connect becomes part of the community itself.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 That's what I want SMOOCHES to become.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Bringing People Together
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Memphis is a city with incredible personality, music, food, entertainment, creativity, and people.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 SMOOCHES will celebrate that energy.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our goal is to create an environment where people from different backgrounds can sit beside one another, laugh together, enjoy great entertainment, and simply have a good time.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 There is already so much in the world that separates people.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 SMOOCHES is being built around what brings us together.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Food brings people together.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Music brings people together.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Laughter brings people together.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Celebration brings people together.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 And sometimes all it takes is one welcoming place for strangers to eventually become friends.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I want SMOOCHES to be that place.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 What Your Donation Will Help Build
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Opening a restaurant, bar, and entertainment venue requires a tremendous amount of startup capital.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our fundraising goal is $30,000, and every dollar raised will go toward helping get SMOOCHES closer to opening its doors.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Funds may help with:
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 - Kitchen and bar equipment
</div>
<div>
 - Furniture and décor
</div>
<div>
 - Stage, sound, and entertainment equipment
</div>
<div>
 - Lighting
</div>
<div>
 - Business signage
</div>
<div>
 - Initial food and beverage inventory
</div>
<div>
 - Opening supplies
</div>
<div>
 - Licensing and startup expenses
</div>
<div>
 - Marketing and grand-opening expenses
</div>
<div>
 - Employee training and opening preparations
</div>
<div>
 - Working capital needed to get through those critical first weeks of business
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Whether you contribute $5, $25, $50, $100, or more, you are helping move this dream one step closer to reality.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 And if you aren't able to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser can be just as meaningful.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 You never know who may see it because you shared it.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 This Is Only the Beginning
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 There will eventually be nights when SMOOCHES is packed with people eating, drinking, dancing, laughing, and enjoying incredible entertainment.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 There will be music.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 There will be celebrations.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 There will be unforgettable performances.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 There will be new friendships.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 There will be memories created inside those walls that we can't even imagine yet.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 But before any of that can happen, we have to build it.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 And that's why I'm asking for your help.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 When someone eventually walks into SMOOCHES and says,
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 “I love this place.”
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I want the people who supported this campaign to be able to smile and say:
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 “I helped make this happen.”
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Because you will have.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 You won't simply be helping open another bar or restaurant.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 You'll be helping create a space for Memphis to eat together, drink together, laugh together, celebrate together, and come together.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 From My Heart, Thank You
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Asking people for help isn't always easy.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 But sometimes dreams become reality because enough people decide that they believe in them too.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 If you believe Memphis could use another place filled with laughter, entertainment, great food, great drinks, and community, I hope you'll consider becoming part of the SMOOCHES story.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Donate if you can.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Tell someone about SMOOCHES.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 And one day, when those doors finally open, I hope you'll walk through them and see exactly what you helped create.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 From the bottom of my heart,
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
