Mr. Neary is a serial entrepreneur opening his first business while attending the University of Texas. While attending law school, he opened Rhett Butler’s – a high end prime rib and lobster restaurant. Rhett’s was sold in 1974 and in 1975, the gain was redeployed to On Your Mark, an early entrant into the athletic shoe store business. After four stores were open in Simon malls, Melvin personally invested in the company and it grew exponentially, and was sold to Foot Locker in 1979, giving them an entrée into Texas.
