Today we’d like to introduce you to Francisco Loaiza.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I’m the owner of Karaoke Cab in Dallas Texas, (Party On 4 Wheels). My fares that I charge are equivalent to any taxi in the metroplex but with added fun. I started this business in New Orleans in 2002 and I move to Dallas because of the hurricane Katrina, (I’m a survivor). I am originally from Costa Rica, I came to USA in April 5 1981. Now, I have 12 microphones, black light, laser light, LED light, fog machine, bubble machine, etc! Also, I can play any song in any language in the planet.
Has it been a smooth road?
In the beginning was very hard, because I have to figure out how to install all the electronic connection in my car because 90% of the electric is 110 volts. and requires big alternator and few batteries.
So, let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Party On 4 Wheels story. Tell us more about the business.
The proudest about this business is about to be able to multitask and this why I do not have competition because I need to be driving and pleasing everyone. God gave me talent for this type of work.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
For the next 5 to 10 years my goal is to enlarge the vehicle with capacity between 18 to 25 passengers. Two poles to dance and four flat screens of 40 inches for all you can sing in any position in the car. That is my goal if God wants.
