EP 129: THE DOMINO EFFECT WITH JONATHAN COHEN

This week’s episode is sponsored by Patrick & Company, a wholesale sales agency proudly representing nationally and internationally branded companies. Located in the Dallas Market Center, for over 30 years they have been the go-to source for retailers helping to discover those unique, sought-after, and stylish brands.

Luxe Dominoes is the intersection of traditional games and high-end design. It was founded in Miami by Jonathan Cohen, who inherited his life-long passion for dominoes from his grandfather. Luxe Dominoes shines the light on beloved games, giving them a new place among great modern design.

The art and science of dominoes go back hundreds of years, yet their packaging has been stagnant for the past few decades. Each Luxe Domino box is hand made by craftsmen in Miami with recyclable material. "El Tigre" is their take on the traditional sliding top domino box, and "El Catire" comes with 4 racks integrated into the box.

These sets are meant to be displayed and played! Luxe Dominoes doesn't just want these beautiful domino sets to sit on your coffee table. All sets come with jumbo tournament size pieces that feel great when you play. They also have brass spinners that add to the fun.

Here, Jonathan shares his story, starting from his childhood growing up in Venezuela to getting into the startup world. He shares the backstory behind Luxe Dominoes and how it grew into the success it is today. Jonathan and Michelle also discuss how Jonathan got his product into stores, how he expanded his product line, his experience at shows, and a whole lot more.
