My first real business venture started with a video arcade in the early 90′s called XLR8 Video Arcade. It was a little place, but I concentrated on atmosphere; black lights, goth type music, that sort of stuff. It quickly grew and soon I opened another location and once I tasted being in business for myself there was no going back to the typical job market. I went on to open ten more companies; from shopping center locations, malls, to multi-million dollar stand alone locations. Along the way I picked up a Real Estate License and few other certificates, but running a business is in my blood it seems.
My past & current Companies:
- Texas Race Promotions
- XLR8 Video Arcade
- Gamer’s Guild
- Dark Moon Enterprises, Inc.
- Gamer’s Guild & Anime World
- The Gaming Center
- JP Investments
- O’Malley’s Bar
- Black Lotus Enterprises, Inc.
- Mystic Sky Productions
- JD Sports Online
- JD’s Auto Unlock
I had semi-retired, however now I find myself searching for something to do and thought JD’s Auto Unlock sounded like an interesting business and given my sleep patterns of Polyphasic Sleep, I thought this would be perfect. So, I put it together and thus begins a new path to walk upon. Let’s see where this journey takes us, shall we…
Take care,
John David
