History
It all began in a small pool hall in Hartley, Iowa owned by Sharon's grandfather in the late 1930s. Her father, Jerry Olhausen, spent his days learning how to cover and repair the pool tables in the hall. Jerry was serving as a Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force and to make extra money, Jerry put his childhood skills to work covering pool tables in the different cities where he was stationed. In 1948, the Air Force asked him to establish an ROTC program at New Mexico State University. Soon after moving to Las Cruces, Jerry developed a reputation for knowing how to cover and repair pool tables, and started a small repair shop. Sharon and her husband Dan (a former fire captain from California who has helped develop the business for the last 20 years) officially took over ownership of the Las Cruces showroom and repair shop in 1991, after Jerry retired from the pool table business.
