What does it take to keep a vendor loyal for 61 years? I like it, Griffin said. I appreciate the fans, obviously, because they don t have to buy from me. They can find anybody else in this stadium or go to any kiosk or store to buy from. I appreciate the fans that s standing in line sometimes not all the time to make a purchase, he said.
While Griffin still has regular customers that come to his kiosk, the number has dropped as younger fans move away or start families. Even when this park opened over here in 2000, I still have some older fans come by and say, You still here? Yeah, I m still here. We exchange pleasantries, Griffin said.
