The Temple University alumnus opened a gym in Los Angeles but almost lost it all during the pandemic.
"I had always had an interest in shipping," he says, "so I configured my resources. I'm really, really proud of this neighborhood and I'm doing it here for a reason. My father passed away last year, and I'm opening a business in the neighborhood that he's from. That part alone means so much to me."
Barnett will celebrate that legacy at his grand opening ceremony Saturday with a DJ, prizes AND a job fair.Copyright © 2023 WPVI-TV. All Rights Reserved.
