Dave and Buster's History
In 1972 James "Buster" Corley started as a waiter for T.G.I. Fridays, where he worked his way up the management ladder.http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Dave-amp;-Busters-Inc-Company-History.html He was in charge of opening new locations and looked at the train station as a new location. He had always wanted to start his own place. Later, he received backing and opened his restaurant called Buster's. It was located right next to Slick Willy's in the train station.
In 1977, David Corriveau opened Slick Willy's World of Entertainment, a 10,000-square-foot billiard and game house in a renovated train station in Little Rock, Arkansas.http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Dave-amp;-Busters-Inc-Company-History.html
The two became good friends and noticed that their customers moved from one of their establishments to another. That is where the thought came to combine the two businesses under the same roof.
Dave and Buster moved to Dallas. In December of 1982, they opened the first Dave & Buster's in a former warehouse. They spent $3 million to make the 35,000-square-foot building to their design.http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Dave-amp;-Busters-Inc-Company-History.html
