this is steve grafton.flew both of them out to california because i wanted them to be part of our first employee meeting. steve: my son steven. ana: very nice to meet you. stevie: nice to meet you. ana: ana maria. nice to meet you. steve: hola todos. man: hola. lemonis: so i wanted you guys to know that ana and gilbert and i made a deal, along with stevie and steven, to invest $300,000 into pacific hospitality, to buy a 45% stake. and so, going forward, these two businesses are going to be one company. putting the businesses together means more work, more business, and more money for everybody. but i'm 100% in charge. okay? let's go to work. what do you see here? you see opportunity? stevie: absolutely. i see us a few years ago, five, six years ago. lemonis: is that what it feels like? stevie: almost exactly. lemonis: what do you think of the quality of their work? steve: for hospitality, it's fine. for residential, it's not fine. lemonis: it's not fine? so what are you noticing that would make it not fine?

steve: $250. lemonis: grafton furniture was finally heading in the right direction. great product. i think it's a wonderful partnership for the future. steve: awesome. lemonis: but shortly after we finished the first episode, esteban, the patriarch, the heart and soul of this business, passed away. today, i'm heading back to miami to check in on the grafton family and see the progress that they're making. -hey. -steve: hey, marcus. what's going on? lemonis: so, let's take a tour through the whole factory. steve: to the left, up here, we made our little break room for the guys, and so we named it abuelos café. when i inaugurated abuelos café, i made a speech that this room is here because of my dad, and we stock it for them, free of charge. -lemonis: from him. -steve: from him. lemonis: it's actually the first time i've seen you -since he passed. -steve: i know. lemonis: as you walk through the warehouse, you feel this void of esteban. he was quite a character. he had sort of a personality larger than life, and you feel his absence. does it feel weird that he's gone?

-steve: i'm steve grafton. lemonis: i was just trying out some of your furniture. steve: nice. lemonis: who do you primarily make your furniture for? steve: interior designers. lemonis: and so a customer cannot come here and buy this stuff? steve: this is stuff that i've had from years ago, and i just put this showroom together over the last six to nine months. and what i need is to merchandise this with current inventory that we sell today. lemonis: so this is essentially a showroom that has furniture that you can't buy. they're a custom manufacturer, so this warehouse is not a showroom. it's just a bunch of unclaimed furniture. how long have you been in this building? steve: since 1964. 50 years. my dad, my dad. lemonis: oh, your dad. okay. steve: he's here, actually. lemonis: i would love to meet him. steve: i would love for you to meet him. go ahead. -papa! -esteban: hey! lemonis: how you doing, sir? -esteban: so far, so good. -lemonis: your name? esteban: esteban grafton. lemonis: nice to meet you, sir. -esteban: nice to meet you. -lemonis: wow. esteban: well, i've been he

steve: no, it's not done. -steven: okay. lemonis: if he can't do the job, you fire him. ...there may not be a next generation of grafton furniture
