I have been asked several times now, as to why the change?
Well I guess I should introduce myself, my name is Napoly Salloum and I have had years of experience within the hookah industry. Starting with the fact that I love to smoke the hookah and visit new hookah establishments. I love hookahs so much so, that I have owned and operated 2 different hookah lounges, in 2 different states. After selling the hookah lounges, I have continued to visit other hookah bars to enjoy the ambiance, the shisha, meet new people, and to simply relax. As I enjoy to travel, I have found that searching for hookah bars is a little more difficult than one would think. Do not get me wrong there are over 20 websites that have hookah establishments listed with their business name, address, phone, and even sometimes a little review. Unfortuantly, I have also found that most (not all) of these sites have out-dated, or wrong info. I do not blame them for not keeping the info up-to-date as this would be a full time job. Do you realize how many hookah bars have sprung-up, closed, changed location, was forced out due to smoking-laws, or are in the process of opening. We all know that when you are looking for something you either search online, ask a friend, or find it in your local directory... so why not have one local directory called hookahcafes.com where as it's mission it to solely confirm hookah establishments so that we the customers can find them, enjoy it, and tell a friend. In a nut shell, I simply got frustrated with the lack of a central location... thus hookahcafes.com was created.
As part of the Hookah Cafes, LLC. mission statement is to also create a unviersal membership card. The Hookah Cafes membership card would give benefits to it's members at participating hookah establishments. We have hired a staff to contact all hookah establishments to join the Hookah Cafes Association; to give all of our members benefits while visiting their lounges. If you are someone who enjoys hookah bars, please pre-register to join the hookah cafes membership today! Simply sign up on hookahcafes.com and we will mail you a membership card. Membership cards are for free for the first 901 members that sign up. I decided it would be free for the first 901 members, because it is the month and date we had our official launching date. After the first 901 there will be a small processing fee of $5 this is only to cover the cost of the card, mailing, and administration.
