Avi has done a lot for the town. What people see are a plethora of Sunsations locations. What people don't see is the humongous amount of taxes he has paid to the city each and every year, the throngs of people he has employed many of which have grown to start their own business in town. People also don't see the back end of various companies he has hired including construction, accounting, etc. to help the local economy as a whole.
My limited dealings with the man, and others that know him, is that he is a very fair and approachable person that is generally well liked. He gives people the opportunity just as he did with Jeff at the Taphouse....... what other person in town would give that type of opportunity to anyone? It's Jeffs show over there and Avi just paid for it. He is a highly intelligent business person that believes in and looks for the best out of others. Haters are going to hate I guess.
