At the heart of every game room we create is the bond of family. At Billiard Factory, our commitment goes beyond crafting spaces for entertainment; it's about strengthening the core values that hold communities together. As we carve our niche in the world of billiards, we ensure that our steps resonate with love, care, and a deep-seated sense of responsibility.
We're proud to kickstart our Social Responsibility Campaign in partnership with Sunshine Acres Children’s Home. Their mission mirrors our ideals, championing a nurturing environment for children and echoing the essence of family values.
With an enduring legacy of over 69 years, Sunshine Acres stands as a beacon for children separated from their loved ones. Rooted in its Christian values, the institution is dedicated to instilling core principles, fostering enduring relationships, and sculpting paths towards a rewarding future.
Since its inception in 1975, Billiard Factory's ethos has been the understanding that game room spaces are more than just rooms; they are sanctuaries of laughter, and nurseries for the bonds of family and friendship. Our purpose is to bring families and friends together to create lasting memories with our products.
Their legacy is an inspiration. Sunshine Acres provides solace to children separated from their parents, enveloping them in a caring, Christian ambiance. Our connection runs deep, with one of our franchise owners being a living testament to the transformative impact of Sunshine Acres. This collaboration is our way of paying forward the love and support communities can offer.
From the nurturing grounds of Sunshine Acres, Erik Decious emerged not just as a young high school student but as a beacon of resilience and hope. Sunshine Acres, where Erik found refuge during his formative years, became the backdrop of a fateful encounter with Larry Stick, the founder of Billiard Factory. Their bond grew stronger over shared values and mutual respect. Recognizing Erik's potential and indomitable spirit, Larry offered him an opportunity that would change his life's trajectory: the chance to manage the newly acquired Billiard Factory in Jacksonville, FL. It was the summer of 1997.
A bond forged in trust and mutual admiration, two and a half decades flew by. When the time came for Larry to pass on the baton, he saw no better successor than Erik. The boy who once sought solace at Sunshine Acres was now being presented with a golden opportunity — to own the very store he had passionately managed for 25 years. With teary eyes and a heart full of gratitude, Erik embraced this dream-come-true. Today, two years into his ownership, the Jacksonville store thrives under his stewardship, and Erik cherishes the freedom and fulfillment of realizing a dream long held close to his heart.
