I thought the below attached article was an interesting read and agree with the report. What this basically means to me is that local FEC's will be seeing some serious black in their bottom lines. They will however be competing against each other, so I offer one bit of advise... No one will come to your fun center if your fun center "aint" FUN! See my video blurb here. If you think that simply painting your FEC walls primary colors will make your place "fun", I am sorry to tell you that you are mistaken. Fun means having a mix of all the right things. From video games, to redemption, to interactive involvement all the way to the overall layout. YES the layout! I recently received a desired floor plan from a client who is looking for an 18 hole black light miniature golf setup in a 5,000 sq ft location. My immediate question was why an 18 hole? Why not a 9 hole and mix the rest of the location with other "FUN" stuff? Why crowd an already small space with one attraction leaving room for very little more? Now don't get me wrong, It's not that I don't want to sell an 18 hole glow golf course, of course I do. But this is not the client for it. I certainly couldn't and wouldn't bring myself to doing such an underhanded move, as the sheer sight of the floor plan almost spelt out disaster on the pocket. Today's FEC's, if planned for "fun" will be successful, even in today's economy. If anything, this economy is just right for FEC's, for the sheer reason of "Daycations" and Staycations". What are your thoughts??? Here is the article: |

Themendous is busy with many new projects on our shop floor: In light of the hideous Ronaldo sculpture, we are building a figurative sculpture of the Persian Poet Ferdowsi. You will be able to see this piece on the Persian Parade Float to hit NYC at the end of the month. This figurative piece will be the center star of the float for guests to pose next to.
