Walter King had a secret.
It was the kind of secret that had him buzzing with excitement, barely containing his grin as he went about his day at Kings House of Fire (KHOF). His team—dedicated, passionate, and always ready to provide the best experience—had no idea what was coming.
The next day, as customers strolled in, browsing the curated displays of cannabis, King pulled aside his budtenders. “We’ve got a new customer who needs some help finding the right product,” he said with a knowing smile.
The team did as they always did—welcoming the visitor with enthusiasm, offering recommendations and answering questions. But then came the moment of recognition.
One by one, heads turned. The room froze for a beat. And then the realization hit—like a knockout punch from the man himself.
Mike Tyson—the legendary heavyweight champion, the cultural icon—stood before them, browsing shelves lined with his own “Tyson Bites” gummies.
Excitement erupted. Phones were pulled out. The air crackled with disbelief and joy as staff and customers alike shared the moment with a boxing legend standing in their midst.
For Tyson, this wasn’t just another business stop—it was a true connection to the dispensary selling his products. He admired the layout, praised KHOF as “the nicest dispensary I’ve seen,” and spent the next hour shopping, laughing, posing for photos, and engaging with the team.
He then paused in front of a life-sized wax replica of himself, its presence a testament to KHOF’s appreciation for the champ’s influence. Tyson stared for a moment before grinning.
“Wow, this is the best dispensary I have seen in the entire state, talk about a job well done!” he said, clearly impressed, shaking King’s hand.
For King, this visit was more than he had hoped for. It was a moment that solidified KHOF as more than just a dispensary—it was a place where even legends felt at home.
“It was like welcoming a family member home,” King said later, reflecting on the day.
And just like that, Mike Tyson became part of the KHOF family.
