the area in terms of job creation, scholarship programs and
investment opportunities. This morning, Robinson announced that a
local investment group, led by several prominent community
officials, purchased a major interest in the new location. They
have joined Warren Sapp and H3 as the key investors in the project.
The investment group was also given the rights to open four more
units in the Tampa/St. Petersburg market along with Sapp. The
meeting was held at the first HipHopSodaShop location at 8901 4th
Street North. In attendance were members of the St Petersburg
Police and Fire Departments, the Florida State Legislature and
Mayor�s office, several members of the St.Petersburg City Council

SodaShop program including Verizon were also present. Jim Burke,

nationwide expansion program.� Frank Peterman, Jr., a member of the
Florida House of Representatives, opened the meeting by leading the
group in prayer. Robinson then took the podium to talk about how
the SodaShops can provide a safe and fun �hang out� for the city�s
youth, as well as a means for people in the neighborhood to invest
in their own culture, in their own communities and in themselves.
�Just as HTRE gives everybody an equal opportunity to directly
invest in the HipHop revolution and participate in the great wealth
being generated by our own culture, so too do the SodaShops. The
SodaShops give people of all ages and means the chance to become
owners rather than spenders, the chance to invest their money and
watch it grow for the future while creating good jobs for
themselves and their neighbors.� Brian Peters, founder of

young people to understand entrepreneurship and to build wealth in
our communities the right way by eating healthy, managing money,
employing our own and recycling dollars throughout our communities.
H3 will be the beacon of empowerment and employment of
African-Americans.� H3 will continue the weekly conference call
