Bring 80's arcade fun back please

I miss old arcades. Skee ball pinball sunset riders, all that good stuff. If I was rich I'd open up an arcade/bar.

I miss those days too.

You should become a manager at a Peter Piper Pizza or a Chuck E Cheese.

Or maybe this place

Or... move to Japan or Korea. Arcades are still very popular there.

Just slowly create an arcade in your house / basement.

Yea, If I ever win the lottery the first thing I would do is open a huge arcade and just use it as a tax write off.

You don't need to be rich, just need a good business model.

Those bar/arcade combos sound like a good way of doing a modern arcade.

I would love to see a comeback of a great pizza joint and massive arcade room. Man if I could figure out a way to do that I would. But in my area some big chain places even go out of business. That doesn't mean it couldn't work tough, if you had a good plan and business model. Of course I would serve beer but I don't know about hard liqueur. On the pizza topic, I live in a very weird and controlling town, where the Christan collage would buy all of the liqueur licensees so no one else could, I mean our Pizza Hut does not even serve beer, it has to be about the only in world that don't.

Why would opening an arcade validate a tax write off?

Lots of Universities are like that. At App State you're lucky if a restaurant serves beer. If you want a a cocktail you have to drive twenty minutes to Blowing Rock. It almost encourages drinking and driving if ya ask me.

The issues with opening up an arcade include the lack of demand and terrible roi. D&B's model usually works because the arcade is tertiary to food and beverage sales. For them token sales are basically extra revenue. The cherry on the sundae if you will.

If it lost money. I was talking just a gaint arcade, in my area it would be guaranteed to lose money no matter what. But if I won the lottery I would not care, it would there just to enjoy for any one who loves the stuff. Where I live it would not even pay the electric bill and rent or mortgage. I am never going to move either.

A little off topic

On the liqueur licensees, my Walmart just got theirs 2 years ago.

Fuck SBU They own the town. Its the Christan Mafia.
