The lounge performed well, but Rafik had big plans for daylight, recognizing the need for better breakfast and lunch options in the Valley. Rafik later joined him, running markets and smoke shops and developing a hookah brand before teaming up with his brother on Vibe Café, on the former site of what many middle-agers will remember as The Wiener Factory.
