The Squeeze is cool by itself, yes, but it's the human energy and passion that takes it to the level of way cool. Here's a little bit about us:
Gary and Misty Young
Gary "The Busboy" and Misty "The Boss," dreamed about owning the Squeeze In "someday" for 15 years before it appeared as an opportunity out of the blue in 2003. They've worked together at the Squeeze since then and love the chance to spend more time with each other and have a weird love affair with the Squeeze.
Chad and Shila Morris
Shila "The Bride" has been at the Squeeze since 2004 with her parents, Gary and Misty Young, and has converted her wonderful husband, Chad "The Babe" Morris to the "dark side" bringing him into the family business in 2006. The Morris' wed on June 30, 2006, and live in Reno. Shila is a graduate of the University of Nevada, Reno and Chad is a certified arborist with many years of landscape and retail management experience. Shila and Chad are co-owners of all three Squeeze In locations.
Kay Young
Kay "The Blonde" is the youngest member of the Young clan and is the Assistant Manager of the South Reno Squeeze. She's an avid singer, songwriter, and saxophone player. Kay has been serving Squeeze guests since she was 11 and does a fantastic job.

Nicole Sexton
Nicole is the General Manager of the Truckee Squeeze In. She's known for running a tight ship, and for her sharp wit and sly smile. She's from the San Diego area and is an avid fan of the Chargers and the Padres. She loves getting outdoors: in the winter, she snowboards and cross country skis, and in the summer, catch her paddle boarding with her dog Mista Man.
Amanda Thorsby
Amanda is the General Manager of the South Reno Squeeze. She is a Truckee native, and if you can believe it, has been working for the Squeeze In since she was 15. Amanda has Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from the University Nevada, Reno. She enjoys spending time with her family, her fiancé Rick, and her doggies Remy and Winnie.
Heidi Davis
Heidi Davis is the General Manager of the Northwest Reno Squeeze. She is the loving mother of Amanda, the Squeeze’s South Reno GM (above), and to Alex, who attends high school and also hosts at the south Squeeze on weekends (we like the whole family thing!). In addition to managing the northwest location, Heidi manages catering and special events for the Squeeze!

The Boyz Under the Hood
You don't see 'em much, but you love 'em! The Boyz Under the Hood in the kitchen spend hours every day receiving, sorting, washing, chopping, slicing, shredding, cooking, cleaning, ordering... and again... receiving, sorting, washing, chopping, slicing, shredding, cooking, cleaning, ordering... a never ending cycle!
The Boyz Under the Hood have pumped out as many as 385 meals in seven hours from the Truckee Squeeze's tiny 40 square foot kitchen. An amazing feat which can't be accomplished without great teamwork and advance preparation. Great job guys! The Truckee kitchen isn't much bigger than a modern day walk in closet. Each kitchen we build in a new location is modeled after the Truckee mothership, but the kitchens tend to get bigger each time.
