I assume this is going to go up in Granite City? Maybe you should consider Fairview Heights? Kids need something to do here too. :)
Good luck. I will be interested to see how this goes for you. :cheers:

With all the issues at the mill.... you may want to reconsider the Granite City option. People already have some choices - including Family Fun Time, Time Out, etc. You can do arcade games, but from strictly a business perspective, you need to make money. Figure up a business that makes money, and add some video games to it.
You know what I think would do good? Put Panteras back in town. Granite folks would love that. While your at it, put in a Seibolds bakery somewhere in there and you have a winner. Next put in some video games, crane, and a some redemption games.

Seibolds is gone, haven't you heard? Bankruptcy. The reasons why I wish to do it here in granite is because the idea the city has for a movie theater is more than likely going to flop, Stopkotties is back in buisness and it actually has buisness, considering it's a skating rink. Like I had said it'll be a comic/card/hobbie shop too. Similar to dizzy dugout mixed with an arcade. I have been rallied to do this by about everyone I talk to that lives here. It's cool that there are other options, but I know enough people that can't quite make it to anywhere without making it a special event if it's out of town. As for that Timeout, I went to the one in saint clair square and nearly threw up. there were FIVE working arcade games, and TWELVE redemtion games. I touched the joystick to the tekken 5 Dark ressurection and it was so loose I had assumed the spring had given out. House of the dead 2 had a busted lightgun, soul calibur 3 arcade's P1 vertical slash button was jammed. the only saving grace was a sega strike fighter with three screens. That wasn't an arcade...that was where evil dwells

I have been to Time Out in St. Clair square as well and your assessment is correct - its worthless. I have never even seen one person playing a game any time I've been in there. I wonder how they even sustain that place? It cant be profitable. Its about as worthless as the indoor put-put course that is next door to it. Never seen anyone in there either.
