In the same video, he discusses why he and his brothers decided to become major stakeholders of the company stating,
“It doesn’t matter how you are, candy brings joy. I’m so excited to give joy to a lot of people around the world. Obviously, I hope I give people joy with the things I do on the court, but it’s so exciting to do things off the court and bring joy to people.”
In a press release, Candy Funhouse CEO, Jamal Hejazi states, “We are extremely excited and honored to have Giannis and the Antetokounmpo family, owners of Ante Inc. join the Candy Funhouse team as owners and collaborators.” Antetokounmpo is expected to be a major part of the brand’s expansion strategy.
