Indian River Mall has undergone significant changes over the years, with many smaller stores either seeing their leases expire or being let go.
However, one small business owner remains committed to his shop, striving to provide a stable workplace for his employees.
WPTV recently spoke to a dedicated entrepreneur to uncover the passion that drives him.
Dragon King Hobbies is the realization of owner Sean Paul Jones’ dream.
WPTV“Growing up, I always wanted to be a comic book artist,” Jones said. “I loved to draw and had a passion for creating comics.”
He transformed his childhood love for comics and pop culture into a business that he opened in Indian River Mall less than a year ago.
“It was a great starting point for us,” Jones explained. “We thought if we opened in the mall, it would be easier for people to find us.”
However, just shy of celebrating a year in business, his lease was terminated by the mall’s new owner, DTS Properties II.
