We had the good fortune of connecting with Justus Hayes and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Justus, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
The idea to start Blended came from me in middle school and I attended a Charter school were we had to wear uniforms and so I was only able to wear normal clothes on the weekends. My whole middle school time was full of that so I got so many ideas from looking at what everyone had on so that’s when my sophomore high school year I decided to create my own!

What should our readers know about your business?
I think what’s sets me apart from others in the story behind the company. I am most proud of how much everyone has helped me and supported me along the way with Blended.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
When I want to go somewhere with my friends I always will choose Downtown that’s the go to place for me. I think personal it has a lot from chilling places, work areas, food and just fun to walk around

I want the shoutout to go to my wonderful family and Community without them I wouldn’t be able to do what I am doing today! My family have been right beside me the whole time and give me so much help with everything. And my community have just showed up sense I started and had the idea of Blended
