Today we’d like to introduce you to Anthony Howard Jr.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Anthony. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Gamez on Wheelz was an idea from my son who was seven at the time and he always ask could I get a mini van and put some tvs and video games inside. I thought it was funny but very creative. He then went to Atlanta for his cousin’s birthday party and he mentioned that they had a game truck and of course he wanted it for his birthday coming up. The game truck for his birthday was fun but I was thinking about if I was able to do one, I would create it to be a party on wheels!
After a year of brainstorming, Gamez on Wheelz was officially on the road and creating The Ultimate Video Game Party on Wheelz! In three years of business, we have five gaming trailers in our fleet ((3) Middle/South Georgia, (1) Metro-Atlanta area, and (1) Eufaula, AL area). We wouldn’t be where we are today without our faith, our family, our customers and partnerships.
Additionally to our gaming business, we are going into the manufacturing/building business to where we can build customers their own gaming trailers and set them up for success. One of our newest projects that will be hitting the road this Spring will be called Gamez 2 Glamour which is a mobile spa trailer for girls!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
This journey has been rewarding so far! I enjoy meeting new people and developing lasting relationships whether it’s through business or personal. I started this journey without having a mentor so learning the business itself was rather challenging. Everyday is a learning process. I strive to be the best than the day before so I stay dedicated to learning to enhance my brand and business so it can be rewarding to my customers and community.

I am most proud about this company because it’s more than video gaming. Even though it’s a video game business, it has allowed up to go into the Youth Detention Centers, Schools, Churches, Community Outreaches, Mentorship Programs, and many other opportunities just to name a few.
What sets us different is that we are our own competition. We strive to make every event better than the one before!
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Nothing. May sound crazy but I loved the way I left Corporate America and it made me value and appreciate where I am now. Now I would say opening up and sharing this journey with my family before I stepped out would’ve bee my only difference.
My mom put 2 and 2 together that I quit my job because I was sharing events on social media in different cities that I was doing at the same time I supposed to be at my job. She’s very smart and I couldn’t lie to her just prayed that she supported my vision.
