Shaqtin' the Merchant

Hi, it’s Shaquille O’Neal, also known as Shaq.

It’s an honor for me to be guest editing The Merchant, a publication that I have been an avid reader of the Merchant for years.

When I showed up to Mount Carmel weeks ago to scout the location for the possibility of converting it into a new Papa John’s and students from The Merchant approached me, I first asked my security team to taze them. After one student was able to tell me through extreme pain that they wanted me to guest edit The Merchant, I was very humbled, and I had a pleasant feeling like someone had rubbed Icy Hot on my insides. I have enjoyed my time working with The Merchant staff, except for Nicholas Lodato. That dude is weird.

So please enjoy this carefully cultivated issue of The Merchant, preferably while drinking an ice- cold Pepsi with a slice of Papa John's. 

Shaq out.
