About Us

Gold Crown is a locally owned valet service and has been in business in Dallas/Ft Worth since 1994.

The purpose of the company is to provide well mannered, friendly, courteous valet attendants to provide valet parking services to private homes and banquet venues.

We are understood in Dallas as the service whose valets recognize all the prominent philanthropist, political leaders, and socialites in Dallas.

The company was started and still owned and managed by native Texan, R.W. Raabe. R.W. went to high school in downtown Dallas at First Baptist Academy where he graduated in 1986. He started valet parking at Northpark Mall while obtaining his undergraduate degree from East Texas State University, now A&M East Texas University. He completed his bachelor's degree in 1990 and took a professional management position while continuing to valet park part-time. In 1994 he started Gold Crown Valet Parking while in graduate school at The University of Texas at Dallas. He completed his graduate degree in 1997 with an emphasis in Human Resource Management.

The company has performed some wonderful feats including large charitable events as Fight night, the Black Tie Dinner and the grand opening of the Adams Mark Hotel (5000 guests!). We have been honored to take our service on road trips to Waco, Texarkana and Quinlan.

We have performed our services for an amazing list of clients including President Bush, (Jr. and Sr.), Al Gore, Steve Forbes, Vicente Fox, Hillary Clinton. Our client list includes the most well known and prominent individuals of Dallas.
