HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE BUSINESS: Since April 2007
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOUR BUSINESS A YEAR FROM NOW:
We just celebrated our 4 year anniversary, so a year from now, hopefully we will be celebrating a 5th year in Second Life.
WHY DID U START THE BUSINESS:
When Cruiz's Cotton Club opened, there weren't too many black owned clubs that exuded a high class luxury style, only a small handful. A great majority catered to the "hood" stereotype...or were simply prefabs with the same look or no imagination to it, and I felt like I wanted to offer more of a variety for grown people to enjoy. We want the best for our patrons...so we are extremely detail oriented. Most everything in the club is custom made...from the stages...to the jacuzzis...to the candelabras. When the patrons steps in the club they are surrounded with complete luxury...even down to the mall area outside and our luxury yacht next door. Our patrons deserve it, so we spare no expense in making sure they have a great experience when they come to CCC.
DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR ANYONE TRYING TO GET TO YOUR LEVEL:
The secret to CCC's success is our love for what we do, our commitment to being the best club we can possibly be, our originality, integrity and our ability to adapt to our patron's needs. We don't try to be someone else...and we frown on clubs that try to do that. Another key ingredient to our success is quite simply our talented DJs who entertain our patrons with their unique styles every week. I think these elements are important for any club to consider when entering the business. Also, I have seen alot of clubs come and go over the years. Many people fail because they think the club business is a get rich quick thing, but it's not. You really have to be dedicated to it and work at it.
As you have read this is one the SL most prestige business owners who has risen above all and remains on the top. He is a very talented and distinguished individual and will continue to grow. If you are in need of great clothing, shoes, a good time, or just great company you now know where you can seek it at one of the greatest spots.
CCC is, was and will always be one of my favorite spots to visit.
