From selling “fuzzy slippers” at the local mall to currently being the self-described “tech entrepreneurs” behind Amerisleep (a company that sells high-end, scientifically-developed mattresses), Firas Kittaneh and his brother Moe say they are living the American Dream –that is, the American Muslim dream.
Originally born in Palestine, the brothers moved to the United Arab Emirates when they were young and in 2001, relocated to Wichita, Kansas to attend university. “Being a Muslim American that has created a thriving business is a blessing,” says Firas. “The American dream of having an idea, sharing that same idea with other Americans, creating jobs, aiding families, and ensuring rest and relaxation via sleep has been a dream come true, pun not intended.”
