Grant Quezada started Founding Fathers Collective to build a gathering place for Prescott, Arizona. Through ingenuity and hard work, he was able to create a community.
Grant’s Passion: The Founding Fathers Collective is a group of 6 small businesses operating under the same roof in Grant’s hometown of Prescott, Arizona. They have a specialty coffee shop, award-winning barber shop, a functional fitness gym, and the largest tap wall in the state.
- “A huge focus and mission was making an impact on our local community. Everything is downstream of culture and so if you can create a cultural hub and provide something unique that people can draw on and feel like they are part of, that was really the driving factor.”
Boost the Local Economy: Grant uses his business to bring community members together through ongoing events and participation with local non-profits. Founding Fathers Collective has created jobs for 67 members of the Prescott community.
- “The legacy I want this place to leave is very much a legacy that ties back to the best parts of what Prescott is at the core values, fundamental levels, but then also help chart a course forward to where this place, this community grows and thrives.”
Why Free Enterprise Matters to Grant: “Free enterprise is important to me largely because of the freedom and creativity that it gives an individual to succeed or fail on their own merits.”
- “If you care about small business, if you care about the community you live in, your state, our nation and free enterprise, it is incumbent on us to be activated and actually understand what these issues are. That is our responsibility as citizens of this country.”
