Local business going all in on selling poker items
Frank Corday doesn’t see the popularity of poker dying out anytime soon. That’s good news for Corday and life-long buddy Steve Roelle, who both grew up in Skokie and Morton Grove.
Their business, High Hand Designs, specializes in all things poker, from T-shirts to signs to poker art.
“Is it a fad? Poker’s not something that’s big one year and then is gone,” Corday said. “Poker’s not a Furby.”
It would be hard not to know that poker has reached a new level of popularity these days.
