Eddie traces the business from his father Ed Sahm's first Fishers location in 1986, his early work and Purdue hospitality education, and decision at 23 to buy Sahm's Place with an SBA loan, rebuild it through craft beer, streamlined operations, and community events, then sell it back into the company in 2016. He explains scaling into Big Lug Canteen and brewing for margin control, the pivot from Liter House to Half Liter BBQ during COVID, and building \"everyday\" value-driven community spaces. He also covers management-contract work at Turner's, upcoming openings, and real estate and lease discipline.
