Interview Ken joiiio.com

Joiiio's mission to enable every Jeep and Bronco to enjoy their vehicle in the way nature intended it. Topless, doorless, we've got you covered or uncovered. So just go over to, I'm just going to say the letters here, just go over to J-O-I-I-I-O.com. Joyo.com and you can get more information on this service. Alright guys, thanks for being here with me. And who is our secondary guest, Ken? Oh yes, to my left is Brandon Schipper. So Brandon's our first employee and he's been managing our operations here as the general manager at Joyo for, on year two now. So Brandon. Awesome, spreading Joyo love out here. You need everybody topless Jeeps and yeah, it's been a good time. So Brandon, is Ken a hard employer that I think he is? Because he's just, you know, he's very mean and mean spirited here on the last episode that we did. He is so mean man. I'm kidding. No.

He's like the backbone of Joyo. He's always keeping the vibes high, always keeping customers happy, making us, making sure we're on track in the shop, but always in good fun. So is every Friday pizza day, does he have pizzas brought in on Fridays? I bring in treats though. Healthy treats. Brandon's a crossfitter and a professional water skier and all kinds of other things that are required to be athletic. So we live healthy lifestyles at Joyo. So I try to bring healthy snacks in. We had, we had deer broths earlier this week. We do chia seed bars, all kinds of healthy snacks, not pizza, but if there's pizza, if there's, frankly, if there's any food around, boys will eat it. So what's the, what's the opinion on bacon? If you guys live a healthy lifestyle.

Okay, good. I was getting a little concerned about you guys. Yes.

Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Lots of it. All right, Ken. So either really easy. One of you can take this one. Tell us about the business, what it is that you do. We had a little bit of it there in the intro, but I think you guys have a really cool and unique business that allows people to do things that they may find difficult to do if they're in a town home or an apartment or even in their house, especially when the garages are full with everything else that they can't fit in their house. Well, Tony, thank you for that question. We think so too. As a 37 year old, 37 year Jeep owner through the years, I've just always known people to struggle with everything that we're doing here at Joyo, essentially hardtop removal, storage, soft top installation. If they, if they own a soft top, if you don't own a soft top, we'll, we'll lease you a one for the summer. And we're also selling soft top stops as well. We remove doors. We place with half doors, remove doors for the weekend, remove full tops for the weekend. So any version that summarizes your Jeep that includes soft tops, sun riders and doors, that's what we do. And we do, and we're very, very focused on those, those level of services. We also have just not even by almost by accident, was really not a part of our initial business model. We're doing a lot of repairs on soft tops.

Brandon, the guys are just, we've, we've amassed a good, a good selection of parts and backups when people unfortunately hit garage doors and parking ramp things with low clearances. We end up saving some of those parts and pieces. So we had our customer on Friday came in, just called in, did it was walk in and we had both the parts she needed without having to order them. So we're, we're really, you know, our goal is to just get everyone on the road with our soft tops, with no tops, with no doors, and truly enjoy their Jeeps in our opinion, the way it was designed and the way, as we call the way nature intended. So people, and correct me on this, I'm just remembering from last time and from going to your website and looking at the stuff, what people can do if they, if they don't know how to remove their hard top and freedom panels and you guys don't have any, any limit on the Jeeps, right? I mean, you do TJs all the Wranglers, the modern day ones, I would assume the gladiators as well. So it's, if you've got a Jeep that has a top that can be removed, they can take it to you guys like at the start of summer or whenever they want to do it. And then you guys will store it for them and then they don't have to worry about keeping it someplace.
