Louie took a different route, wrestling at the University of Michigan before becoming a successful dentist, entrepreneur, and inventor. Together, the brothers turned QuikStrips into a massive success story. Today, Louie owns an incredible collection of sports and music memorabilia, multiple properties, and is building an outrageous dream man cave complete with a live music stage, golf simulator, casino games, humidor, industrial kitchen, coffee shop, and more. From wild stories and business wins to luxury living, younger women, and dreams of buying Hell, Michigan — the Khouri brothers live life at full speed.
