Shawndell Pullam and Ryan Whitfield have been best friends since 1991, and played basketball together growing up. However, their passion for entrepreneurship will see them become business partners, cementing their three-decade-old friendship.
The duo went into business together after high school, and were into designing graphic t-shirts. However, in 2016, they opened their first Smoothie King branch, and today, they proudly own six Smoothie King franchises across the DC Metro area.
Years later Pullam and Whitfield transferred their success in the smoothie business into the pizza industry with a class of their own – they founded BurnBox Pizza, in addition to their smoothie locations.
According to Black Business, the pizza chain, which is located in Maryland, is a vegan pizza restaurant chain with several menus to give guests an inspirational and healthy experience. The brand also inspires positivity and provides humanitarian needs in communities by combating the hunger crisis.
