Nick Cordova had a very successful career in the restaurant businesss, but when he relocated to the Los Angeles Valley area, he took off in a different direction.

You can say he decided to stretch in a new direction.

His Valley-based limousine company, has grown in just four years

from no cars to a fleet of nearly two dozen and a growing roster of private and corporate clients, including a new contract with the LAUSD and USC athletics teams.
Besides offering everything from town cars to stretch Hummers to Charter Buses, Nick also provides private security services also.

"I began working in limousine services even before leaving the East Coast," said Cordova, who lives in Northridge. "So I knew what kinds of services I wanted to offer and what clientele I wanted to attract."

Naming the new business was a calculated strategy, Cordova said, intended to set the company apart with a bit of East Coast cachet and flair. The company was named Times Square Limousine to revive some east coast admiration.

"We had done plenty of research into the market. I wanted to determine what it would take to develop a top-notch, first-class livery service"
