Once known as the King of Clubs, he has become the Emperor of Hospitality. His company is now worth $50 million. It is expected to pass $75 million within 12 months because, like all great rulers, Khabouth is hell-bent on expanding and dominating.
“In order to be successful, you need to have a concept and you need to execute at a very high level,†Khabouth says, sitting near a mounted deer head. “I’m very focused. I get up in the morning and I have my list. I go down my list and I get things done. I am not distracted by little things that happen around me.â€
In high school, Khabouth stocked shelves at IGA. He manned the fryers at McDonald’s until midnight. When his shift ended, he rushed to a second job, scrubbing carpets in buildings until 5 a.m.
He’d trudge home at dawn, sleep for three hours and then go to school.
His mother often cried. She begged him to stop.
He couldn’t then and he won’t now. It’s not just the work these days. It’s the type of work. Wining and dining thousands of strangers each night, entertaining thousands more, this is his addiction, his disease, maybe even his curse.
