CONCORD -- On Sunday, the opening of a new boba tea shop in Concord, advertised on social media, raised fears about the size of the expected crowd. So, instead of the city being happy about the opening of a new small business, the store's owner said he was threatened by police for inviting car enthusiasts to join the festivities.

It was opening day for the Milk Tea Lab on Clayton Road in Concord and, as a first-time business owner, Iyanni Muniz knew he had to do something to get the word out.

"We're not a huge corporation so, in order for us to get our name and ourselves out there, we have to advertise," he said. "Now, with today's technology, social media is key. It's crucial and I have a bunch of buddies that I network with and they spread the word.""
