These days, Weissman and Shlachter are looking to get bigger. They’re eyeing a $17 million park in a location they decline to disclose.
“We’re ready to step up to the big leagues now,” Weissman says. “But we couldn’t have done it without getting our hands dirty. Very dirty.”
Going Mobile
Soon, Jaffa Parks will have a new office in Mill Valley north of San Francisco. It’s many tax brackets away from the pair’s trailer park in Austin. Weissman and Shlachter say they appreciate their lives more now that they’ve seen how the other half lives.
And when they meet new people at cocktail parties, many of them creating apps for mobile phones at companies in San Francisco, they say that they’re in mobile, too.
