    So I am going to opening up a business in the near future.....a small service business....a unisex salon to be exact. I've often thought of creating a REC.ROOM.......in another room as part of the business filled with Pinball Machines, soda fountain and possibly a Chexx Bubble Hockey for people to enjoy while they wait for a service. As a lifelong pinhead I can repair almost any machine and do the work on them myself. I would vend the machines at a cost of .50 or .75 per game depending on the machine. Just wondering what people think of a idea like this? I've never seen anyone do anything like this before and I am slightly nervous but I don't see me taking a bath on the entire thing either as pinball machines seem to hold their value for the most part.

    Anyone want to interject their 2 cents into this.....Just curious.

    Thanks for the Feedback.

    Well several local malls have arcades but those are just mostly ticket redemption with a few arcades....some of the larger re-creations of Space Invaders, etc. I'm looking to create a classic pinball arcade within a salon.....almost like a rec room. I will check tomorrow....unfortunately my county is not listed on municode.com so I couldn't check there. Thank you for the feedback. Everyone I talk to seems to like the idea for the business....as it's something to do while you wait for a service or wait for someone getting a service. I'll keep you posted.....I'm looking to create an bring the enjoyable experience of pinball to the mainstream by offering it for play. We don't really have any type of classic pinball related stuff in our area except for a few bars that have pinball machines within them.
