Rochester Magazine: So, in the early ‘90s, you left your job as a swim coach and decided to start a business. In hindsight, how much do you regret not choosing the video store?
Pat Carroll: None. None. I was that close. It was down to the VHS rentals, a sub sandwich shop, or a popcorn place. I had priced out everything for the video store, but it was too much. It was the one I wanted the most. But I realized I couldn’t afford anything else except the popcorn place. I borrowed money from two college roommates to do this.
