-- Blake Smith, the driving force behind SQRL’s rapid growth, recently provided an in-depth look at the company’s journey, including its impressive expansion and the hurdles it encountered along the way.
In the interview, Smith highlighted SQRL’s growth to 415 stores within four years, showcasing the company's significant achievements. "This rapid and unprecedented growth is a testament to our hard work and dedication," he noted. Despite this success, he openly discussed the financial and operational challenges SQRL faced, such as the necessity of taking on predatory loans and the failed Baximus partnership that led to store closures.
Smith emphasized his commitment to transparency and took responsibility for the company's difficulties. "I deeply regret any distress these challenges have caused," he said, extending a heartfelt apology to all stakeholders. He also highlighted his efforts to ensure the well-being of his employees and stakeholders, including providing opportunities for those down on their luck.
Testimonies from employees illustrate Smith’s impact. One employee shared, "Blake has changed my life. When I met him, I was at one of my lowest points, and he took a chance on me." Another testified, "Blake has always encouraged hiring people who could benefit from such employment. I have seen Blake give cars to employees who didn’t have transportation, pay off student loans for single mothers, and more."
Concluding the interview, Smith called for collaboration with stakeholders to address current issues and pave the way for a stronger future. "Together, we can work towards a positive resolution and rebuild SQRL into a more resilient company," he said, reaffirming his dedication to the company's success.
