How It All Began
It was in 1975 in Cincinnati, Ohio when Jim Ernst Sr. had a vision to make it on his own. Through his wife Lori’s side of the family, he was introduced to the bar business. He saw opportunity in the vending of pool tables and arcade games in bars, and this is where his vision turned into a reality. Over the next several years he transitioned the company into the movie theater arcade industry. His business began to partner up with cinemas all the way down the Eastern coast and throughout the Midwest. With many years of experience, Jim became very passionate and knowledgeable within the industry, deciding to make partners with entertainment center owners throughout the country. And this was only the beginning…
