James Corley, co-founder of Dave & Buster’s, dies in Dallas at 72

DALLAS — James W. Corley, one of the co-founders of Dave & Buster’s, died this week on his 72nd birthday.

Corley was the “Buster” of the restaurant and entertainment business, which opened its first location in 1982 in Dallas and now has more than 140 across the U.S. The company moved its headquarters from Dallas to Coppell, Texas, last year.

Shortly before 7 p.m. Monday, officers were called to Corley’s home near White Rock Lake, online police records show. The Dallas County medical examiner’s office said Corley was pronounced dead at a hospital later that day.
