Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We have been in this industry for over 60 years. We opened our business in San Marcos in 1981.
What is your primary product or service?
Coin operated Amusement machine operation is our main focus; installing equipment into businesses and sharing the profits. However, we also sell used equipment for in-home play and offer on-site repair service on home based equipment.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Founder, Frank Rizzo, was working for a radio repair shop in Chicago in the early '50s. His cousin owned pinball machines and asked him to try and repair them for him. He liked it and began building his own route. When pinball machines became illegal in Illinois, he moved to a neighboring city in Indiana expanding his route. Planning to retire in 1979, he moved to Carlsbad. Within the next two years he found himself building a new route. Today, Frank 93, is retired but continues to work daily at the warehouse. His two sons, Earl and Mark and daughter, Lynn, now own and operate the company.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Being a family owned and operated company - we take a personal stake in all aspects of the operation. The owners do not just work ON the business, we are totally involved working IN the business. Repair and maintenance service is what really separates us from others. Our service line is open 24/7 and our technicians are on call 7 days a week. We respond to our business clients usually with in a couple of hours to repair any machine malfunctioning.
