Thomas’ stepfather, Terrence Freeman said he’s afraid that this experience will affect Thomas, causing him to see the world in a more cynical manner from the happy boy that he is.

Rickey Booker, co-owner and founder of Breakfast Brothers, said the Express is a new concept. Unlike their other locations, the Express store won’t have dine-in options but will offer services at the crack of dawn.

“So now when you get out of the nightclubs on Fridays and Saturdays, we open up at 2 a.m. here and close at 2 p.m.,” he said.

Breakfast Brothers first started in a trailer behind a nightclub, Booker said. This introduced the late hours and they started extending their time as the demand for their food increased.
