Interview With Mark Dyer: Owner of The NASCAR Cafe Las Vegas
Vegas eNews: How did you first become involved in ownership of the NASCAR Cafe?
Mark Dyer: Two friends who acquired the rights to he NASCAR Cafe concept in 1995 approached me. I joined them in 1996 as president of the startup company, and we opened our first location in Myrtle Beach, S.C. in February 1997. I thought NASCAR was a great pick for a theme because it represents not just a sport, but also a lifestyle.
Vegas eNews: What directed your attention to the restaurant/tourism industry as a profession to begin with and did you originally see your role (career) in it different than it is?
Mark Dyer: I didn’t seek the restaurant-tourism industry per say, I just thought the NASCAR Cafe concept was promising and thought I’d be able to bring something to the equation as far as building the brand. I never dreamed I’d have the opportunity to buy the rights to the Las Vegas location when I started this.
