Porsha Williams, star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, knows how to pick them. Her ex and the father of her only child is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the nightlife industry. Dennis McKinley owns the largest chain of Black-owned hookah and nightlife lounges.
“CRU Hemp Lounge, which was created over 10 years ago in Atlanta, Georgia, is a fast-casual hookah-hemp lounge offering unique hookah flavors, hemp oil extracts, small plates and specialty cocktails,” McKinley said. “We have grown exponentially over the past couple of years, and we are excited to be the largest hookah lounge in the United States.”
The lounges, which are frequented by many celebrities, allow patrons to enjoy a variety of hookah and CBD products while simultaneously being served in a restaurant environment.
McKinley opened locations in Atlanta, Georgia, Houston, Texas, and Charlotte, North Carolina. He plans on opening several more locations all over the U.S., including Austin, Texas, Miami, Florida, Phoenix, Arizona, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
