Today we’d like to introduce you to E.J. Bridges.
Hi E.J., thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
MAZE Bartending Service was created in the summer of 2020 during the start of the pandemic. The creation of MAZE Bartending Service came about through several avenues.
First, as a Business Professor, I frequently teach courses on Entrepreneurship and stress the importance of business owners, especially in the African-American community. Secondly, while working in the Bar/Restaurant Industry, I developed a passion for the art of bartending and mixology.
Third, I began to study more into the craft, earning several certifications while also working under several event planning companies in South Carolina. Time passed, and I decided to branch out into my own venture and created MAZE Bartending Service.
The name “Maze” came about to honor the memory of my brother, Monquinton Jimaze Thompson.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
At the start of any venture, I understood that there would be challenges.
The anxiety and uncertainty of the future were consistent thoughts. Not to mention that we were at the start of the pandemic, which made us really nervous.
However, we were fortunate to not only enter the market but sustain it throughout the pandemic.
