The Gents Place

Ben and Lauren Davis founded The Gents Place in 2008 in the midst of the Great Recession, receiving an SBA loan just two weeks before Lehman Brothers collapsed (largest bankruptcy in U.S. history). The business idea started with Ben hating to get his haircut so much he would get it cut twice as short as he wanted so he didn’t have to come back for twice as long! After considering buying into franchise opportunities, the Davis’ decided to strike out on their own and revolutionize the industry with a new membership-based business model that focused on building a community of like-minded gentlemen. While Ben worked on the financing and legal paperwork required to get their business of the ground, Lauren cast a vision of what The Gents Place would look and feel like for their guests, including the intricate details of design, space planning, and construction budgeting and management. Then, they were off to the races with the opening of their flagship club location in Frisco, TX.

They have worked together to scale The Gents Place business nationally over the years, with each wearing as many hats as necessary to make the business an ultimate success. Today, Ben serves as President and Lauren as Chief Culture Officer, including managing all design and construction projects nationwide. The Davis family and our incredibly talented and loyal team members welcome you to our home and hope you enjoy The Gents Place as much as we do. We are here to serve.
