Stuart and David Pikoff’s Mobile Party

Brothers Stuart and David Pikoff thought that entering the gaming business seemed like a good idea. The opportunity they saw, however, was far from what any other average entrepreneur would possibly think of. Instead of programming their own game, they turned retrofit vans and trailers into mobile party units, complete with video games and other comically-named games.

Stuart and David started building their careers as entrepreneurs by running small businesses in various industries, such as telecommunications, property management, and homebuilding. Their mother, who was involved in real estate, importing art, and raising emus, influenced their choice of profession and raised them to be free-thinkers.

Stuart and David long wanted to start a business together. In time, they decided to leave each of their respective ventures to create a joint project. Although their initial plan was to buy an existing franchise, they ended up building something of their own to avoid labor costs and high employee turnover rates. They deviated from the trappings of communication and real estate business and entered the entertainment industry, where party options were very limited. In 2007, the brothers launched Games2U, a literal party on wheels.

Work is all fun and games for Stuart and David with their company Games2U, an Austin, Texas-based franchise that brings the party to the people. The brothers provide an over-the-top mobile experience with a wide array of games and entertainment to add life to the celebration for kids and the young at heart.

In just one year, several Games 2U franchises were up-and-running. Stuart and David’s unusual business became an instant hit, not only with kids but also with corporate professionals. They were able to tap the inner child in everyone and recreate a fun, jovial, and carefree atmosphere that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere.
