Then, over time, the idea was to professionalize the business and offer an increasingly better product”, he recalls.

Almost a year and a half after its inauguration, Erick decided to try his luck at a new space, also located in San Borja, that would allow him to receive clients and, later, expand his letter with diverse offers.
