don't do it (Score 1)

Having opened and closed one for 3 years in the heart of the SF Bay Area, I can tell you: -It will be alot of hard work. Be prepared to give up a good chunk of your life. -You won't make alot of money. If you want that, do something else. -You are competing with new game releases/technologies all the time. -Depending on your market and location, you are dealing with annoying and evil teenagers (not all of them mind you). -You need alot of capital for each upgrade round. Sometimes you just won't have it. -It's a seasonal business. -You will have fun at least. -You will learn alot. My advice, don't do it.
