In a recent government meeting, plans for a new entertainment venue featuring a variety of gaming options were discussed and ultimately approved. The proposed establishment, located at 901 Lucinda Avenue, will include a retro gaming lounge, an arcade room, pinball games, and unique experiences such as a rage room, smash room, and splatter room.

The venue aims to cater to a wide demographic by offering a tiered pricing structure for its arcade games, which will be coin-operated and priced between 25 cents and $2.50 per play. This pricing strategy positions the venue competitively against similar offerings in the area, particularly a rage room in Naperville, where the new establishment will charge approximately 50% less while providing double the number of breakable items.

Additionally, the gaming lounges will operate on an hourly basis, starting at $20 per hour, with a promotional rate of $15 per hour available until the end of the year. The venue's owner, who plans to initially run the business with family support, expressed enthusiasm about creating a drug and alcohol-free environment that appeals to younger audiences from the surrounding areas.

The planning and zoning commission unanimously recommended the approval of a special use permit for the amusement establishment, with all members voting in favor. The community has shown strong support for the project, and the owner is optimistic about its potential to enhance local entertainment options.
