Our 35th Anniversary celebration continues with another heartfelt look at the journey of Bahama Buck’s—this time with a very special guest.
In the third video in our limited anniversary series, Kippi and Blake Buchanan sit down with longtime friend, fellow co-founder and CFO,
Eric Lee to reminisce on the early days of the brand. From starting in a small apartment to shipping products out of a garage, the trio shares
the real, raw, and often hilarious stories of what it took to turn one small Sno shack into a thriving franchise with over 100 locations.
Eric played a pivotal role in shaping the foundation of the company—from developing flavors and products to pushing secondhand
forklifts and packing boxes in a makeshift warehouse. Through every phase of growth, one thing remained unchanged: the unwavering
friendship between Blake, Kippi, and Eric. They stuck together through the highs and lows, learning to balance each other’s strengths, lift each
other up, and finding ways to keep things light.
This episode isn’t just about products or franchising. It’s about building something meaningful with people who feel like family. The heart,
hustle, and humor are what made those years unforgettable, and what continues to fuel Bahama Buck’s today.
