How Many Days Can I Survive an Abandoned Mall

I love malls. America used to be booming with malls. They were everywhere and they were magical. Oh, so fun. Let's go to the mall. You can't because now those very malls all over the country are abandoned. They're falling apart. There is a mall in America that was once the largest in the entire country, Burnsville Center. But today that mall is considered dead, a ghost mall with very few stores remaining. However, I have an idea. I'm flying across the country and for the foreseeable future, the Burnsville Center is my new home. I love it here. I'm opening a store in this dying mall called Ryan's Fun Emporium. That's supposed to say emporium. It was a misprint. My dream is for my emporium to get a thousand visitors and I'm going to lock myself in this mall until it does. I must eat here. I must sleep here. I must use the bathroom for many things. With all of this being said, I have always wanted to stay the night in a mall and I can't think of a better reason than to save it. All right, we're officially open. Ryan's Fun Emporium, open for business. Nobody's really here at the mall, but that's the whole point. The items I'm going to be selling is honestly just a bunch of old stuff from my childhood that I've had stashed away in the crate. I call it the crate. It's honestly just an old plastic storage bin. I don't really want to sell this stuff, but it is the most fun stuff I own. Like my Shrek mug, I'm listing it for $30. Or this Tow Mater snow globe, that's $50, easy. I've got my old Pez dispensers. These are what, 10 bucks? I don't know. And lastly, my Nintendo 64. I know these prices might seem a little expensive, but this is my stuff. I don't want to give it away for free. I used to play with this car all the time. It's crazy. I have listed the maximum number of items that I can emotionally handle. And now it's time to beg people to visit my Emporium. This might be a little harder than I thought. Would you like to be the first visitor in our Emporium? Oh, no worries. Howdy. Would you like to be the first visitor at my Emporium? It just takes one to get the ball rolling. Maybe I should be more fun. How's it going? Would you like to be my first visitor in my Emporium? Yay! Awesome. I'm here with- Chloe. Chloe is my first visitor at Ryan's Fun Emporium. Yes. All right. So what are you doing here? I like to just walk around and see what looks cool in the windows. A lot of stuff has been closed down, so I like to see what's opened up. What are your thoughts on Ryan's Fun Emporium first impressions? Yeah, just super random, but I like it. I love random stuff. You are hopefully number one of 1,000. Thank you, Chloe. ♪♪ Kind of getting hungry. Oh, I am. How's it going? Oh, yes. My first day. I just opened it. Well, it's supposed to say Emporium up there, but it got it misprinted. This is my first time leaving the store. I'm nervous. I'm excited to explore the mall. I need to find food. I need to find bathrooms. And I'm staying in zone one of the mall. That's what I'm calling this zone that I'm in, zone one. I'm nervous to explore too much of the mall all at once. I feel like I'll be overwhelmed, but let's go find some dinner. Let's find something to eat. I made it to the second floor, level two. They have a glasses store. There's a massage spa. There's a furniture store. And a lot of stores that are just sort of closed. Like a lot. Like a lot, a lot. This is a crazy visual. I think this used to be a Macy's. Really interesting on the second level, but no food. Let's continue exploring. ♪♪ What do we have here? Vending machines and restrooms all in one hallway. Not bad. Looks like dinner tonight will come from vending machine. And any bathroom necessities will be behind this door. I cannot leave my store for too long because there are potential visitors, but this hallway is gonna be magical for me while I'm here. It's right around the corner from my Emporium. It's got food. It's got a bathroom. The only question is, what's for dinner? ♪♪ Dinner is served. I got myself some trail mix and a protein shake as well. I know we haven't made too much progress today towards our goal of 1,000 visitors, but Chloe gave us a glimpse. Okay, she gave us a glimpse into what's possible for the Emporium. This newspaper is from 1977, and it really captured the first few years of this mall after opening. It just looks so fun. Look at it. I want to recreate that feeling in this same mall 50 years later. That's what I'm trying to do with Ryan's Fun Emporium. Most of the people that walked past my Emporium, I don't even think they were here to shop. I've never seen something like this, but maybe because of the way the mall is, a lot of people come here to walk, like work out. I need to get to the bottom of that because that's marvelous, if that's the case. I mean, that's crazy. Who needs a gym membership when you got a mall? You just go walk around the mall. The mall is open for another hour and a half, so I'm going to eat my dinner as quickly as I possibly can and open up Ryan's Fun Emporium again because I want to make this mall the most fun place ever in the world. The mall is officially closed, and I'm still here. I'm sleeping in this mall until I have 1,000 visitors, and I've always wanted to explore a mall at night. Not gonna lie, I'm a little scared to walk around this mall at night. Staying overnight in a mall has been a fantasy since I was a little kid, but now that I'm doing it as an adult, I'm a lot more scared than I expected, and there's a cotton candy machine beckoning me to eat processed sugar just before bed. Not gonna lie, I'm a little scared walking around here at night, and I just stumbled into zone two. Uh-oh. I'm in a part of the mall I've never been before. Whoa. Oh my gosh, there's a whole food court. What the heck? They got ICs here? This is crazy. This mall is huge. There are so many places to sit. Whoa, sugar wings and things. That sounds good. I know what I'm eating tomorrow. Sugar wings and things. So let me get this straight. I'm out here wandering in a mall in the middle of the night in my pajamas. I did not realize how big this mall was. There's a lot more to explore. There's some dark corridors that I'm kind of scared to enter. I need to get back to my emporium and go to sleep so I can prepare for tomorrow morning when my emporium opens again. Well, that was scary and cool, but I'm back at the shop and you must be wondering, Ryan, are you really sleeping in your emporium? Come on, guys, I'm not a savage. I realize I have not given you a proper tour of my emporium yet, so here it is. The storefront where my items are for sale. My buddies work in the register over there. Nice pajamas. This is the store back, back at the store. This is my secret corner where I hide a bunch of stuff from my visitors because I don't have it organized well. Don't tell anybody, it's a secret. This is where I eat my meals, on this stool in this corner. And finally, what's behind this door? My bedroom. It's pretty much a storage closet with an air mattress in it. Yes, we have only one visitor out of 1,000, which sounds pretty bad. Or you could look at it this way. We have completed 0.1% of our goal. Sounds a little better. I feel like I could live in this mall forever. I'm having so much fun, but I have to go to sleep. And tomorrow is a new day at Ryan's Fun Emporium. I found my old alarm clock in the crate. We'll see if this actually works tomorrow morning. Good night. Good morning. I'm going for a morning walk around the mall right now. And this is by far the busiest I've seen it so far. I'm not going to lie to you guys. I found myself getting a little competitive. I mean, that's just the nature of this environment. It's super cool. I just walked a little over one mile in the mall. Only in zone one and zone two, don't worry. I logged in on Strava, and you can see how popular certain routes are with these little blue lines. Oh yeah, this area is pretty busy for walking. Ooh, look, this street's pretty popular. And then there's Burnsville Center. My goodness, look at it. Is this the world capital of walking? Holy moly. This mall is unique. It's a spectacle, honestly. I just have a feeling, if I'm going to get a thousand visitors to Ryan's Fun Emporium, it's going to have to involve these walkers. Let the fun begin. I'm opening the shop. The Emporium is officially open. Today I listed some more of my stuff. The Up movie. It's like one of my favorite movies. My favorite sunglasses. My old Pokemon cards. Dash from the Incredibles from A Happy Meal. He has trouble standing up. I added way more items on top of that, and I even updated the prices on all of our items from yesterday. And I have a feeling that these changes are going to drive some serious traffic. I think I need to update my marketing. Marketing update. Here are three things I just did to increase traffic at my Emporium. Number one, I placed this sign near the food court that directs guests to my Emporium. I tried spinning it for a while, but I realized I'm not very good at spinning signs. It's probably confusing people, honestly. Number two, I made this sign that I can wear and interact with guests while on the move. Everyone here is on the move. I need to be on the move with them. And number three, I created this poll. Are you here to walk or shop? I need to know for sure. If people aren't here to shop, I might need to change my strategy. All right, let's go see if we can get some visitors. If I get a visitor, I'm going to click on this and add it to our total. Hey guys, I'm trying to get 10 visitors to my store today. I don't know if you guys want to stop in. Yeah, no worries. Have a good one. Would you like to go visit my store? No, I'm just walking. Oh, no worries. I should open a treadmill store. How's it going? You want to stop in today? It's down there at the end. I can walk you over if you want to get some steps in. Let's do it. All right, let's go. What's your name? My name is Moe, man. Moe, I'm Ryan. Pleasure to meet you. This is it right here. Ryan's Fun Emporium. All right, I'll open it up the gate. How are you going to make money with this, man? You think it's not- You have nice stuff, but you don't have enough, man. Not enough stuff in here? Not enough stuff, man, but you got a good stuff though. Okay. Oh my God, look at that. Yeah, classic, huh? The Tesla 64, my bro. Two! Let's go, Moe! Thank you, bro. Congratulations on your store. I hope everything goes well for you, Ryan. Do well. I pray for you, man. You'll be good, man. Thank you, Moe. Appreciate you, brother. I think Moe's positive energy got the ball rolling because we started getting visitors left and right. Yay! You're my third visitor. Yeah, Ryan's Fun Emporium. $100. This is a scam. Oh, that's a scam? $100. You guys have any advice? Go to school, stay in school. Don't do nothing bad. No, not in general. I'm talking about for the store. Yeah, get some more stores. Yeah, get some more store inventory. One, two, three, four, five. Yay! Thanks, guys. We made some good progress towards our goal, but your boy's hungry. Your boy needs to grab a meal. So we're at the food court. Looks really cool last night when I was exploring it. Let's check it out when it's open. Food court. Guys, I think lunch is gonna be sugar wings and things. It has to be. Hello. Ryan, right? Yes. All right, what do you recommend? The number one thing here is our wings, our fish, our barbecue. I'll do the six wings. I gotta get the mac and cheese, half rack of ribs, and that's it for me. Awesome. What was your name? My name is Willa. Willa, awesome. Yeah, there you go. Thank you, Willa. Thank you so much. Awesome, thanks. First meal at the mall, sugar wings and things. I got wings. I got baby back ribs. I got a Kool-Aid jammer, mac and cheese. Considering I've only eaten from a vending machine so far, this looks so good. Sugar wings and things taste test. Mm. Whoa, that is so good. Willa did her thing. My goodness. I'm already out and about, so before I go back to my Emporium, I'm just gonna see what kind of shops this mall has to offer. Teddy B's Popcorn. That sounds pretty good. How's it going? I'm Teddy B. Oh, I'm Ryan. Yeah, Ryan. Pleasure to meet you. What do you recommend though? You think... So my caramel and cheese is some of the best. I'll try that then. I'll do a small. Thank you, Teddy. Cheers. I got Teddy B's Popcorn. Whoa, Teddy B. Hello, how you doing? Here we go, taste test. Oh my goodness. Teddy did his thing with that one. I love the teddy bears. Are the teddy bears for sale as well? Yes, they are. My name is Theodore, but my nickname is Teddy Bear. Growing up, my father was Big Bear. I was Little Bear. Okay. Right. And so as I did, I designed the teddy bears to look like me when I was a baby. Looks like there's a furniture store. How's it going? How you doing? Mohamed, did you design by my mom? Go long. Yes, sir. I'm open. He's open, he's open. I'm open. You want to see what it does? Yeah, yeah. Mohamed, show him. Boom. You know what I'm saying? A futon right there. That's a twin size bed, Ryan. Dude, I love it here. All right, boys. Well, I'll see you guys soon. I appreciate you stopping by. All right. Peace out, guys. This feels like family. I don't know. That was so fun. So cool. Oh my gosh. We got so many votes while I was away. Look at our poll. 58 people said that they're here to walk and 16 said that they're here to shop. That is not a good ratio for my Emporium. Not a good ratio at all. When I got back from walking around the mall, I had two customers waiting for me to open my Emporium. 10! 1%. These two twins' names are Hannah and Zanna and they came in and bought my Pokemon cards. Yay! We would like to make a purchase. Oh my gosh. One, two, three. 14! Yes! Yay! This super cool kid named Zade bought my sunglasses. He's really good at skating. Apparently his family has a skate shop here in the mall, but that's in zone three and I'll have to explore that later tonight. Bruce and Barb came into the Emporium. What'd you guys think? Something different to see. I liked your sign. One. 16. All right. Thank you, Bruce and Barb. Another day at the Emporium complete. I'll be the first to say it. Today was amazing. Getting lunch at Sugar Wings and things, being able to meet Teddy B, the furniture shop guys, and on top of all of that, we got so many visitors at the Emporium. And I don't know about you, but I feel like everybody was having fun in my store. I don't know. However, despite how much fun we had today, we are still only 1.6% to our goal of 1,000 visitors. At the end of the day, my goal is to bring fun to this mall. Somehow capturing the energy of that photo I saw from 1977, the grand opening, that's what I want. Considering 75% of people that come here are here to walk, I don't know. I'm gonna have to take tonight to think on this. The mall is about to close. The lights are about to shut off. And then I will explore zone three. Zone three of the mall. The time is now 9 p.m. The Burnsville Mall is officially closed. Get to the nearest exit and have a wonderful day. It's official. I have entered zone three. Pretty cool. I'm in that part of the mall now. There's definitely some different shops over here. It's a very different vibe. Oh, there's an arcade. I wonder if I can play any games. Let's play. My goodness. Playing arcade games at night after the mall closes, so fun. But I need to explore zone three. What do we have here? Another vending machine. Snacks. What? So many stores like this. I wonder what this used to be. Okay, so the food court is over there. And right here, elevators. No way, do these work? Oh my gosh. Okay. Oh. More vending machines. Whoa, what is this? Is this mini golf? Oh my gosh. Holy moly. Oh, it's a skate shop. Oh yes. Zade, who bought my sunglasses earlier, apparently him and his family owned this skate shop. I was curious where it was. It's so cool. They actually came back and gave me a skateboard earlier in the day, which was so nice. This might be the coolest shop in the mall. I wish I could skate. What was that? The heck? What is that? What? Joyride? Ha, I put that there. That was a prank. This is my candy joyride. We have sour strips, watermelon wedges, gummy worms, cherry ropes, and so much more. Joyride candy is different from other candy. It's not packed with sugar. It has no fake colors, no junk ingredients, and it still tastes so yummy. Imagine if every mall had joyride, or if every vending machine had joyride. It would be a happier world. Shout out to all the joyride runners getting joyride all over America. So many different stores. It is truly a movement. You are all amazing. We are changing the way the world eats candy. Also, if you're watching this video before the new year, you can go to Target to get our holiday joyride candy. It's in the holiday section. It's so fun and yummy. And if you do a joyride run, be sure to take a picture and tag me so you can be in one of my videos. Something like this. Late night snacking complete. Let's go back to my Emporium. Another day complete at the old Emporium. In all seriousness, this right here, 16, not gonna cut it. I'm grateful for my 16. They feel like family, honestly. I was just looking at the poll I put up today, and it's crazy. The results speak for themselves. I have to figure out a way to incorporate walking into my strategy. I just don't know how yet. Good morning. It's that time of the day. It's time for my morning walk. The mall is open. The conditions are fantastic. Let's walk. This is fun. We got some more votes since last night. 68 to 19. Yesterday I walked one mile, and today I walked two miles. It was just so fun. I didn't wanna stop walking. I get the hype, I do. Since last night, I have developed a plan that I think could potentially get us to 1,000 visitors in my Emporium, but more importantly, accomplishing my ultimate mission of making this mall super fun. I'll explain shortly. I need to get dressed and open my shop. It is officially day three of Ryan's Fun Emporium. Yay. I just took some time to add some items from my crate, listed them for sale. I'm selling my Hot Wheels, my childhood blanket, a Pokemon figurine, and I'm even selling some Joyride at the checkstand. If you didn't notice, everything is now $1. I updated the prices on every item, and I mean every item. I don't know, I want people to have fun. I know this is my old stuff, but I don't really use it anymore. I feel like other people can enjoy it more than I do, and besides, selling these items isn't even my plan anymore. Strategy update. As we know from my poll, most visitors come to this mall to walk. Here I am with an Emporium full of stuff for sale, and they're not even here to buy it. However, I will say, walking around this mall is really fun, and my goal is fun. But there are so many stores in this mall that I think are really exciting. Teddy B's Popcorn, delicious. Amira Furniture, so comfy. Sugar Wings and Things, scrumptious. So what if I organize a walk-a-thon? Tomorrow at 5.30 p.m., I hand out hundreds of flyers and promote it like nothing this mall has ever seen. But I also collaborate with the vendors so that when we walk by their store, they hand out free samples that are fun, effectively making it the most fun walk Burnsville Center has ever seen. And I don't know if you've noticed, but the entrance of my shop looks a lot like a starting line. We might just hit 1,000 visitors after all. Let's get to work. I started by updating our poll. Now it says, I am coming to walk-a-thon. Yes, no. I also put out a stack of flyers that they can take home. Now I'm gonna hang up these flyers, hand them out, and see if the vendors at the mall are willing to participate in the walk-a-thon. Hey there, we have a walk-a-thon tomorrow if you wanna come walk and get some free prizes while you're at it. Sounds like a plan. All right, see you there. She said it sounds like a plan. Picture this view tomorrow at 5.30. Hey, we've got a walk-a-thon tomorrow at the mall. Free prizes if you wanna come join us on a walk. Cheers. Well, here? Yeah, here. Yeah, yeah. Spread the word. Perfect. I saw this, 5.30 tomorrow. Yeah, it'll be fun. Come around, I'll stop over. All right, cheers. So it's just a matter of walking then? Yeah, so we all meet up. It's just a fun way to have community. I have to do it then. Yes, that'll be so fun. Either everyone is super down to join this walk-a-thon or they're just being polite. I don't think we've got a no yet. Howdy, sir. Would you like to come to a walk-a-thon tomorrow? Oh, no worries. Hey, Skoll. All right. Our first no, but it didn't hurt so bad. You guys interested in walk-a-thons? No. Maybe. I might. Perfect. All right, see you there. There's a customization store. It'd be so fun if we gave out custom t-shirts during the walk-a-thon. So tomorrow at the mall, we're gonna put on a walk-a-thon. So we're gonna sort of hand out free prizes. How many shirts could you do with this design? The walk-a-thon is tomorrow at 5.30. So if they're ready by then, we could put on a show right here. Yeah, that would do it. Yes. All right, what was your name? Yuval. Yuval, I'm Ryan. Nice to meet you. All right. I'll see you tomorrow. Thank you, Yuval. See you soon. Hey, Teddy. How's it going? I got an idea for you. So tomorrow, I wanna put on a walk-a-thon. We walk by Teddy V's. I could buy a bunch of popcorn so that during the walk, they can eat it. Oh, sure. All right. Trying Teddy's butter popcorn today. Oh my gosh. That's delicious, Teddy. Walk-a-thon tomorrow. There's a safari store in this mall. How's it going? Good, how are you? Hey, I'm Ryan. I'm Dante, nice to meet you. We're having a walk-a-thon tomorrow and I wanna give out free prizes. So I was curious if I'd be able to like buy anything that we could then have everyone walking, pick up. Yeah, what do you have in mind? Definitely would love the pink hats. I'll take all of these. I think I would personally love this one. Take it. Are you, okay. That one's on me. Are you serious? Yeah, that one's on me. Oh. It suits you. Walk-a-thon tomorrow. I hung up a bunch of flyers. I handed them out to people. So many people said that they're coming tomorrow. We'll see how accurate that is. We even got some stores that are in on the idea. So I would say that went really well. Now it's time to eat some lunch. Sugar Wings and Things is closed today. So I'm gonna try Manila sizzling plate. Hello, can I try the number two? And what was your name? Mila. Mila, awesome. I'm doing this walk-a-thon tomorrow. So I'm trying to get a bunch of people to come. Yeah, yeah. Just walking around, you know. Yeah, but I'm excited. I heard your food is good. So thank you. This looks like it's gonna be very yummy. Let's actually go. Okay, food court meal secured. I got some chicken skewers and beef skewers with rice and some sort of roll. This is looking delicious. Will it give Sugar Wings and Things a run for its money? As of right now, it looks like I haven't made any progress towards my goal of a thousand visitors today. And that might be true on the surface. But what we just did, walking around the mall, promoting our walk-a-thon, that's the type of thing that is gonna supercharge the amount of visitors at my Emporium. Honestly, at this point, I'm kind of just looking forward to the walk-a-thon, personally. Hey Najee, we printed these flyers. We're gonna have a walk-a-thon tomorrow. Okay. Basically, I'm trying to hand out free prizes. I don't know if you, maybe you can just like wave at us. For sure, I'm down. Awesome. Walk-a-thon tomorrow. I decided to walk all the way over to zone three to the skate shop to tell them about the walk-a-thon that I'm hosting tomorrow. Hello. Hi. This is so fun. How's it going? Oh my gosh. Zade is so cool. Go Zade. Yo. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to encourage that. I don't know. Guys, can we spam the comments with go Zade? I am just so proud that he now owns my cool sunglasses. They're so much cooler on him. We're having a walk-a-thon tomorrow. Okay. Yeah. We're gonna have free prizes. I also brought the skateboard that they gave me and put on wheels and they got it all set up for me to skate. Do I know how to skate? No, but that's an obstacle for later tonight. Walk-a-thon tomorrow. I just got so much stuff from shops all over the mall, but now I'm back at the Emporium. There's still so many items for sale that are $1. A lot of these are crazy good deals. Also, I took a look at the poll results. That's been up for a few hours. We have eight votes for yes and seven votes for no. The yeses are outpacing the nos. That just makes me happy. That's like a solid amount of people that are coming. The Emporium is back open. I am also gonna take this opportunity to tell people about the walk-a-thon if they walk by my shop. And I can't wait until the mall closes and the lights turn off. So far, we have sold eight items, which, I mean, that's pretty good for an Emporium. I sold the Pokemon cards to Hannah and Zanna. I sold my old sunglasses to Zade. And I just sold a bunch of stuff to Zade and his friend. Oh, perfect. Thank you. Enjoy. I know what you're wondering. Ryan, what business do you have running an Emporium anyway? I have business running an Emporium. Here's my Shopify dashboard. We have sales. We have traffic. Shopify is an all-in-one platform that allows you to start and manage your business. I already sell Joyride using Shopify, and now I'm using it for Ryan's Fun Emporium. And since I'm selling in person, that means I get to set up a point-of-sale system. But let's say I wanna go on vacation. I could still keep my store open by selling online. As a matter of fact, I could be running my Emporium from anywhere with Shopify. And that's not all. They have this little guy called Sidekick. I use Sidekick voice on my Joyride Shopify account to figure out what flavors to bring to my Emporium. Hey, Sidekick, what flavors of Joyride are most popular in Minnesota? Based on my analysis, the most popular Joyride flavors in Minnesota are the Sour Smacks, Sour Worms, Cherryberry Ropes, Sour Watermelon Wedges, and Sour Blue Raspberry Strips. Thanks, Sidekick. That's why I brought all of these flavors with me to Minnesota. If you wanna start your own Emporium, or a candy store, or any idea you have, be sure to sign up for Shopify using my link, shopify.com slash Ryan Trahan. Or you could just scan this QR code on screen. That works too. Thank you, Shopify. Najeeb at the furniture store invited me to come play video games. So I just closed the shop early. And yeah, I'm gonna hang out with him. Najeeb, let's go. You got it set up? Dude, this looks awesome. This is so fun. I can't remember the last time I played video games with someone in real life. Regardless of how the walkathon goes tomorrow, I can at least say that I found myself a new friend. That was super fun playing video games with my friend. The mall is now closed. I don't know if you heard the rumors, but tonight is the night I venture to zone four. Let's do it. Got my cotton candy. This is the last section of the mall that I have explored. It's bittersweet. It's kind of scary. I am even more scared because I'm going to attempt to skate to it. So I don't know how to skate. I just made it to the end of zone four. Oh, there's a Chuck E. Cheese. This is the edge of the mall. Oh my gosh. It's so spooky at night, but I bet it's so fun during the day. With that, I have reached the end of the mall. I have explored this entire mall at night. I feel brave. I feel handsome. Chuck E. Cheese would be really fun to go to tomorrow, but at the same time, we'll have to see how the day goes. I have a walkathon to host. It feels super weird to say this, but I just feel comfortable at this mall. Like it feels like a second home. I love it. Another night at the mall. If you're wondering, no, there is no shower here at the mall, but I did pack body wipes. It's pretty gross. Good night. Let's go for a walk. It's a beautiful day in Burnsville Center. Feeling good on my morning walk. I think I'm going to walk around a little bit. I'm going to walk about three miles today. Electrolytes for walking, staying hydrated via vending machines. I finished my walk, and Ryan's Fun Emporium is officially open again for business. I walked over three miles today in the mall, which is kind of crazy. Like that's one of my longest walks that I've ever done. Also, poll update. Looks like we have 20 people that said yes to coming to the walkathon. Who knows how accurate that is? We will find out soon. I have some more work to do to prepare for the walkathon, but I did come here hoping to sell through all of my items in my crate. I have one item left. It's this little crab Pokemon. I'm listing it for free. I also updated all of the other items to be free. And hopefully people can just take these items home and actually enjoy them. Once we give away all the items in my Emporium, I will do one final walk through the mall to make sure that we are ready for the walkathon. And then we make history. Things are still very slow. Not many people are coming into the store, but I did get some visitors. Well, you've got cute things, but I guess, I don't know, my grandkids are getting older, so. Maybe they'll like the Shrek mug. Can't hurt. Oh, I know. Bless your heart. So that's the latest on Ryan's Fun Emporium. I think I'm gonna go get some lunch. I just got to the food court and our walkathon signs are all over the place. I didn't even, I didn't even put these here. Dude, word is getting around. All right. Hey, Willa. We got the walkathon today. Yep, we do. I just posted it on my Facebook too. Awesome. Thank you. Can I order some lunch? Absolutely. I'm gonna do six wings plain, just a cheeseburger plain as well. Just plain, nothing on it? Nothing on it. No veggies. Okay. That's how I like it. Lunch is served. I just got my meal from Willa. Got myself a cheeseburger and six wings. Looks delicious. What do you think about the walkathon going on today? I think that's a great thing. Can you tell me how you got into Sugar Wings and Things? So this may going on three years that we've been here. Trying to stick it out. You know, it's hard. Not too many customers, but I got the faith. I'm gonna just keep the faith that hopefully we get the traffic that we need in here. That's amazing. I can say the food is delicious. So you've got that down for sure. Well, Willa, I'm gonna eat my lunch, but thank you so much. You're amazing. Sugar Wings and Things. Yes. I'm gonna eat. Before I go back to the Emporium, I'm gonna go check on our vendors and see if they're ready for the walkathon. First stop, Safari Store. They have a sign up. Hey. It's good to see you. Dude, today's the day. Yuval. Today's the day. Hey, yo. Today's the day. Teddy. How's it going, man? Today's the day. We're excited. It's gonna be fun when we walk by the safari. You can just feel the energy building. Oh my gosh. Look at that. It's gonna be big. Yeah, man. I'm looking forward to it. All right. Thanks, Yuval. Today's the day. Let's go. Thank you, Teddy. We're gonna blow the top off this place. No misprint this time. Learned my lesson. I have strategically planned a route that will allow us to walk by every single store who is going to have free items out for the walkathon participants. This is gonna be the coolest event Burnsville's ever seen. Scratch that. The world. Ha ha ha. This is the best day of my life. This is actually the best day of my life right now. Don't tell my wife that. Let's go. Burnsville, let me hear you make some noise. Yes. I was wanting to say that all day. That's so cool. All right. So here's the plan. We have about a 10 minute walk. It's gonna be called a walkathon as you know by the merchandise. But first we need to go in here. That's the starting point. So many people showed up for this walkathon. I can't believe it. My clicker could barely keep up to be frank, but now it's time to start the walkathon. Everybody follow me. This is insane. You're missing the walkathon. Oh, that's all right. Oh, it's okay. Hey Teddy. Yeah. Grab a popcorn. Najeeb. Yeah. They've got good furniture. Dude, you look awesome. You're the leader of the pack. You guys wanna join the walkathon? All right. Feel free to join. We're walking at a moderate pace. All right guys, this is where we got our shirts, our custom shirts. Customization store. This is insane. Dante, I'll take a silly hat. Yeah, there you go. Oh, it's all right, Zane. Yay! Is this electric right now? This is so electric. This is the most active it's been in so long. After the walkathon, I came back to my emporium and all my old stuff was gone. I filled up the crate with all my new stuff that I got from the mall and decided it was time to go home.
