I own Felix & Oscar because of my cat. Hank became internet famous in 2012 when he placed third in the U.S. Senate race for Virginia. We held many campaign events at the store (then, our place to shop for him). I became close friends with the owners, then became an employee, then became the owner myself, all thanks to him! — Matthew O’Leary, Felix & Oscar, Springfield, VA
