“I grew up my whole life here in the shop. I would come here after school, weekends, and summers. I got to hear stories about the first half of the shop’s life, and I got to see and be a part of the second half of the shop’s life and that’s part of what keeps the fire alive inside of me to keep the shop open”, says Matt Garcia, barber, and current owner of Johnny’s Barbershop.
