Warren Sapp’s Soda Shop Comes to Tampa

Warren Sapp is returning to Tampa, but he won’t be delivering sacks. Instead, he’ll be bringing healthy fast food through his new venture, HipHopSodaShop.

Sapp, a former Tampa Bay Buccaneer who is now a defensive tackle for the Oakland Raiders, is joining with H3 Enterprises Inc. to open two HipHopSodaShops in Tampa and Orlando.

The locations work well with Sapp who was raised in Orlando, and won his first and only Super Bowl with the Buccaneers, executives with H3 (OTC BB: HTRE) said.

“The HipHopSodaShops provide a safe and fun environment where the hip-hop generation can go and do what the hip-hop generation does,” said Sapp in a release. “I can’t think of a better way of giving back than putting my own money to work on my own turf while creating good jobs, great entertainment and invaluable educational opportunities within my own neighborhoods. I’m looking forward to heading back to ‘The U’ [University of Miami] soon to start development of our first store in Miami.”

The Tampa location is expected to open within the next two to three months on Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, less than a mile from the University of South Florida. The 5,000-square-foot store features a central “CyberSports Arena,” more than a dozen high-definition and plasma television screens, and merchandizing and entertainment areas.

Sapp partnered with H3 in June to help open stores in Jacksonville as well as Central Florida. Terms of that detail were not disclosed.
