Jarvis Green, defensive player for NFL team, the New England Patriots also happens to be an entrepreneur. This past September, Green opened a restaurant near his hometown in Donaldsonville, Louisiana.
The grand opening included many special guests: New Orleans Saints Players, Skylar Green, Randall Gay, Seattle Seahawks Howard Green, NY Giants Corey Webster, and many others.
A cozy and relaxing sports-related environment, patrons enjoy southern recipes and a wide array of cocktails, including a wine tasting area.
The Capitol is designed to feel like a neighborhood kind of place, but in an urban setting.
Jarvis took the time to answer some questions for me recently and told me about his business and his football career. His two most important accomplishments as a football player, he says are, “Winning superbowl 38 and 39 as a New England Patriot. Sometimes it’s not always about the money, it’s about winning championship.” His greatest business success, no surprise, ” My new eatery the Capitol. In my 7 years of football and the investments that I have made that was good and bad, this has to be the best decision that I have made. It has been a challenge but it made me grow up fast in the business.”
I think I speak for all of us at Sparkplugging when I wish Jarvis a huge congratulations on his new restaurant. And I love his personal motto:”Everyday means something to someone. So remember that everyone!!”
