He’s doing fine with PDQ... he’s also an investor in the Gainesville PDQ at 34th and University. Son #1 is interning with the cofounders for the second summer in a row. He went to lunch today with Nick Reader (cofounder and CEO, former CFO of the Bucs) and got his job offer for when he graduates next spring (happy parents). His job offer is with Nick and Bob Basham (one of four founders of Outback) at MVP Holdings though. MVP has PDQ, Metro Diner, Fleming’s Steak House, Leroy Selman’s, started Carabba’s... all kinds of ****. Like McDonald’s, they are actually real estate guys using restaurants. Son #1 gets tickets to everything and gets to meet everyone... but I’m still paying the bills! ;)
Random Gator note from Son #1: I had no idea “Titus O’Neil” the wrestler is Thaddeus Bullard! He works out at same gym as son #1 and has cooked with him for kids at Boys/Girls Club. Bullard is very close with the MVP guys.
Oh, as for Tebow and PDQ, his are all well run (PDQs aren’t run by owners like Tebow, the owners put up money) and each one nets about $200-250K/year. I think Tebow is an investor in 4 or 5 of them.
