1972 to present |
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Entertainment Concepts, Ltd., Denver, Colorado
(Creater of of After the Gold Rush, The Rush, Rodeo and Hollywood Legends)
After extensive, world-wide market research and competitive analysis, created an effective
and truly innovative entertainment center concept including:
- Management: Extensive and systematic management training system including
rotation to preserve fresh outlook.
- Facilities: Spectacular lighting and sound systems, game rooms, quiet
rooms to allow for conversation (while affording view of the dance floor), labyrinth
entrance for crowd control and hide view of the dance floor, well lighted and patrolled
parking, separate security room to hold problem guests until authorities arrive. Building
designed for easy conversion to other uses.
- Staff: Entertainment Coordinator - Special training in group psychology,
sound, lighting and promotions for a high energy environment.
Wait Staff- Emphasis on customer service and satisfaction.
Floormen - "Watchdogs" trained in conflict identification and resolution,
rapport and customer service.
Bartenders - Given leeway to create new drink combinations.
Encouraged to juggle, dance, etc. during slack times to maintain interest.
All staff wears specially designed uniforms to provide a fashionable, yet easily
recognizable appearance. Extensive training and support is provided.
All personnel (including management) are cross trained to provide staffing flexibility.
- Promotions: Entertainment coordinators promote the clubs internally. A
cost effective advertising program (primarily radio) has been devised and tested. Joint
and cross promotions with other businesses are fully exploited. The club caters to
multiple markets through creative music formatting and customized music nights such as
country, new wave, disco, rock-n-roll nights, etc. Regular special events (fashion and car
shows, guest appearances by professional athletes and other celebrities) provide
additional variety. The club officially participates in fund raising events for prominent
charities and community groups. All marketing campaigns are conceived and developed
in-house, with advertising production by company personnel on the appropriate equipment.
- Continuing Expansion: The overall concept and execution has proven to be
very effective. After The Gold Rush continues to retain employees and maintain profit
margins far in excess of industry trends. The organization has successfully responded to
changes in government regulations. After proving and perfecting the concept, additional
After The Gold Rush Entertainment centers have been opened:
