HTRE is about investment, economic empowerment, creating good jobs and equal educational opportunity, and above all else, HTRE is about the power of teamwork. As rumored celebrity signings and franchise acquisitions swirl all around us and meaningful negotiations continue to take place, I will and must only make factual announcements as events warrant and deals are officially completed. Right now all I can say is please stay-tuned."
