#63 - Ronnie Shugar, Owner & Proprietor of the Sugar Champagne Bar

This week, Sarasota SpeaX sits down with Entrepreneur, Brand Disruptor, Philanthropist, and Owner of the Soon-to-Open Sugar Champagne Bar, Ronnie Shugar.  The guys jump into Ronnie’s past in the cosmetics industry and building a brand with an exclusive relationship with powerhouse, Target.Ronnie discusses how he ended up in Sarasota, having grown up in California, and the passion he’s developed for the city.  So much so, that he’s invested millions of his own money into community improvements.  But, the guys were really interested to hear more about his upcoming project, The Sugar Champagne Bar, which opens this November.  It will be a unique experience, centered around some of the best customer service you can have.  We also get Ronnie’s thoughts on the roundabouts popping up across the city, and we put him through the Rapid Fire Gauntlet.
