Hi Randy. I don’t have pictures, but I did spend a lot of my parent’s money in Take Ten back in the day. I remember playing Elvira there also. I was googling for info on Take Ten and this was the first result so I hope that someone eventually comes along with pics. I can still picture the place in my mind, on the Sears end of the mall in between the pet store and KB Toys, across from Radio Shack. The newest game was usually front and center so that it could be seen when walking by. Claw machines on the left next to the coin change machine. They were always refreshing the video game lineup and locations. I remember pinball being about mid way thru on the right side and skee ball in the back right corner. The left back corner was the half door where the attendant hung out and you could let them know if a machine took your quarter…haha.

I just replied to your FB post and then came here to see if you had ever seen my reply here. I will be in Maryville in a few weeks and would love to visit your shop if you are open to visitors.

Will do!

Randy - I worked at Take Ten from 1996-1998 while in college. I will see if I can dig up some old photos for you. I remember Tommy very well and also a guy named Bruce who worked there.
