Ready to move out of Westroads tomorrow!!!

04/23/2026

Big thanks to everyone who supported our 3-month trial run at Westroads Mall!

Our last day at this location will be April 30th. Our goal was to test the waters and see what made sense for a long term stay.

After reviewing the data, we’ve decided the current rent and buildout requirements don't fit our model for a long-term stay.

Onto the next adventure!

If you ever need anything picked up and disposed of give these guys a call. I've used them a few times for my business and they have been great.

My order took up the whole FedEx truck lol. He actually stopped at the wrong house and started unloading.

I was like hey that's probably for me. 1000 pounds of plush. I can't imagine what the big guys orders are like.

It's my birthday and I broke down and got a Van. Been back and forth for several months if I should get one but I'm tired of stacking plush to the top of my CX5.

Now I need to get back to work and get some more customers to pay this thing off lol.

It's not fancy but now have a office space for the business. Yea!!

My cube didn't shatter but it didn't survive the car hitting it. I will give it props for the glass not breaking but metal damaged pretty bad.

We are deeply saddened by the accident that happened at one of the locations where our machines are placed. Our thoughts are with the children and everyone who was injured, and we are hoping for a full recovery for them.

Thank you to everyone who reached out.

Yesterday a kid hugged me after I gave him a free Plush
Moments like that remind me why I got into this business.

I was thinking today. First time for everything, lol. I’m so hard on myself and sometimes feel like I’ve failed

I’ve always wanted my own business. Since I was 19, I’ve tried: painting, construction cleaning, an errand service… all failed. Dropped out of school twice. Had no clue what to do with my life. Then I had kids, and dreams took a back seat — family comes first.

Fast forward 20 years: I was underappreciated in the corporate world, and that old itch came back. Here’s the truth: trying and not making it isn’t failure. It takes courage to try. And when life knocks you down, getting back up is what counts. I have to remind myself of that more than I’d like to admit.

My fourth business of course is D&J Amusement Pros and it’s been tough. I almost quit after six months. Two and a half years in, I still feel like I should be farther along, and I dwell on the misses. But then I remember the wins: landing my dream account, Mama’s Pizza. I’m in two malls which unless you are a national brand are not easy to get into as most operators know. And I have several other places that are doing well.

The hardest part? Walking into places and pitching. It’s mentally draining, even though I can do it. I thought I’d get over it by now, or that businesses would come to me. Add to that at least five newer mini crane operators and two massive, entrenched companies… yeah, it’s not easy.

But here’s what matters: the struggle is part of it. Every small business owner I follow pours their heart into making a dream happen. And that’s what I’m doing too. I’m still trying. Still building. Still learning.

If you’re grinding, doubting yourself, or feeling stuck — you’re not alone. Maybe I am reminding myself again as well :)
