As an industry leader over the years, we have supplied the Japanese market with machines conducive to stimulating business, and have benefited from high recognition as a global entertainment company through our overseas casino resort business. More recently, we have reminded ourselves that it is our "knowledge" behind the creation of such quality entertainment that represents our roots. Additionally, even in difficult times such as now where we face a stagnant world economy, we have a tangible sense of striving to accomplish our "dreams" for the future. These two sentiments of ours are contained within our new name, "Universal Entertainment Corporation." Formerly Aruze Corp., Universal Entertainment is a leading manufacturer of gaming machines in Japan. It makes and distributes Pachinko and Pachislot machines, which are extremely popular among Japanese gamblers. Universal Entertainment also has a 20% stake in Wynn Resorts, a casino business with gaming resorts in Macau and Las Vegas. Universal Entertainment Corporation changed its name in 2009 after selling its US-based gaming machine manufacturing business, Aruze Gaming America, to chairman Kazuo Okada.

Southern Maid Donuts began in 1937 by Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Hargrove. A young couple coming out of the throws of the Great Depression, they created Southern Maid because they saw the need in the market for quality donuts. They created their own recipes, which have stood the test of time. Quality ingredients and uncompromised procedures are reason for the continued success of the Hargrove family to this very day. The Southern Maid name came about because of being from the South. Mr. and Mrs. Hargrove wanted a name that encompassed a feeling as well as humble southern traditions and memories. Part of this Southern Maid tradition was a large sponsorship for several years of the Louisiana Hayride Show in Shreveport, Louisiana. Many a young entertainer sang the praises of Southern Maid Donuts. An interesting note: Elvis did the only commercial of his life for any product on November 6th, 1954 for Southern Maid Donuts. He sang the jingle. "You can get them piping hot after 4 P.M., you can get them piping hot, Southern Maid Donuts hits the spot, you can get them piping hot after 4 P.M." Elvis frequented the Shreveport store for donuts on his visits to the Louisiana Hayride. Other entertainers that sang the praises of Southern Maid include Minnie Pearl, Johnny Horton, and Johnny Cash.
