HOUSTON (KTRK) --

To say this is a big day for Johnny Dang and Paul Wall would be an understatement.

Paul Wall's new album dropped today and his business partner Johnny Dang set to open this multimillion-dollar faculty right here in Houston.

Johnny Dang is known across the country for his grills, but he's got his sights set on even more merchandise.

From clothes, shoes, and, of course, jewelry, the new store on Richmond near the Galleria has it all -- including on-site custom jewelry manufacturing.

Dang said, "Me and my partner Paul Wall have been making grills forever they are still very popular right now."

The store started as an idea a year ago and it's set to open Saturday evening with a red carpet opening and guest list full of athletes and artists.

But it's part of a much longer journey for Dang, arriving here two decades ago from Vietnam, struggling day by day.

Dang said, "Look at me now 20 years later. I got my own 14,000 square-foot building."

He's sharing this joy with his family, including his wife, siblings and his two children.

Making grills and jewelry is a passion, but behind the flash and glitz lies plenty of substance and heart.

He said, "I feel so blessed this is, you know, the American dream."
