Big Box Karaoke is Bringing Everyone Safely Together to Sing a New Song
About the Show:
Today we sit down with the Founders of Big Box Karaoke in Fayetteville, Justin, and Mailena Urso. These guys are both originally from Van Buren, they ended up spending time in Japan and falling in love with Karaoke the way they do it in Japan in small rooms outfitted with speakers, microphones and a sound system, a disco ball, flashing lights, microphones, and a really large selection of songs.
In addition to the Karaoke machines, Justin and Mailena have assembled a great collection of Sake and House Drinks along with some really good Bar Food with an Asian flair to them. Imagine Kimchi Tots, Crispy Chicken Wings, Bahn Mi Minis, Soba Noodles, and Rice Bowls or Salads. So much to choose from to go along with your new singing career.
You will not go hungry but you might go hoarse. ;-)
Give them a call to book a space for a private Karaoke party and some good food. You can also get takeout as well. The number is 479-249-6295.

IANWA - Bonus Episode - Has the Pandemic slowed Onyx Coffee Lab down?
About the Show:
Jon and Andrea have created tremendous momentum with their business, now with four locations throughout Northwest Arkansas. Their business practices rest on a foundation of great coffee. From sourcing to roasting to serving their coffee Onyx Coffee Lab has made a name for itself not just here in Northwest Arkansas but around this great country.
Yes, their coffee is a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for, and the fact that they know or have a strong relationship with the growers of their coffee makes all of the difference in the world.
Hear how Jon and Andrea are pivoting their business model during the pandemic not only to keep their product moving out the door but, more importantly, to keep their whole team intact.
Where there is a will, there is a way!
Also, did we mention that Andrea is a "Bad Ass!" as a Barista. She is now U.S. Barista Champion, and here is a great article that tells how this award was won back in February and also what fuels her to operate at the highest levels possible in the"Coffee Game!"
Salud!
