  • 15: The Restaurant Real Estate Deal Maker: How Tom Prakas Has Changed The Landscape of South Florida's Hottest Areas

    After a spring break trip to Fort Lauderdale during his college years, Tom Prakas knew what he wanted to do: own nightclubs. He spent years running highly successful clubs and restaurants in Ohio, Georgia, and south Florida before the father of seven decided it was time for a change. He founded Prakas and Company in 1999, specializing in real estate deals for the hospitality industry. His company has brokered more than 450 sales and leases for some of the top restaurants in the hottest areas in south Florida--Atlantic Avenue, Las Olas, and Clematis. In this episode of The People of Palm Beach, the Delray Beach resident reveals why it seems some restaurant locations are jinxed, the new deals he's working on, and his favorite restaurant in Palm Beach County that you've probably never heard of. Listen to why Tom Prakas is one of the most successful People of Palm Beach...
