Today's guest is David Castle, owner of Chug's Root Beer & More, which boasts the world's largest selection of root beer- all in one store.  That's crazy!  We are talking Guinness Book of World Records here!

David is a former professional poker player, entrepreneur, and root beer expert.  His store is located off of Route 99 in Lynnwood, WA, just slightly north of Downtown Seattle.

In this episode items we discuss are:

* how to operate and survive in an extremely niche business with razor thing margins

* the "Soda Tax"

* different types of Root Beer: Birch Beer, Sasparilla, "Fruity Soda"  and how Root Beer is quite different from the current "craft" beer 

* how David runs his business, maintaining a relationship with 80 distributors around the country while having a pretty small footprint.
