Life & Work with Brian Horowitz of Fountain Valley, Ca

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brian Horowitz.

Brian, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Started in the automotive industry selling car parts. Supplied all the lights for the hit show, Pimp My Ride with Xzibit and West Coast Customs. Sold that company. Started selling arcades in 2020 after being asked to source an arcade machine for Coca Cola. Brian is a air force veteran that flew on the famous Air Force 1. He is a serial entrepreneur that also owns an outdoor sporting goods company called www.creativewagons.com

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The unfortunate occurrence of Covid had positive effects on our business. People being stuck at home, they turned to arcades as a way to bring the fun home. Recent Tariff changes have impacted our business.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
We sell commercial grade arcade machines. Each arcade is a multicade system, meaning they have over 13,000 Games on one machine. We offer fun ad ons like light guns, spinners, tilt screens and more. We have a full art department and offer custom artwork wraps for our arcades. Customers have a blast sharing their ideas and making their arcade unique and personalized to them. We’ve worked with alot of big brands from McDonalds to White Claw Hard Seltzer, NBA Hall of Famers and Powerhouse music artists like Post Malone.

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Trade shows. Getting involved in your community. There are small business programs and clubs that can be joined locally. Doing fundraisers for local establishments like churches, schools, etc.
