Editor's corner

We just finished the design of a social gaming venue in upstate New York that includes duckpin bowling, Krazy Darts, and pool and billiards. The venue is now under construction for a Fall opening.

We're currently working on the design of a 21,000 sf social gaming venue in Ohio that will have an outside area with yard games and mini golf

We hope you enjoy the five articles in this issue that cover trends and topics you won't find in any other industry publications, including several addressing social gaming venues (inappropriatelycalled competitive socializing by many in the industry, as it's not about competition. Competition is not social).

Please contact me (www.whitehutchinson.com/ contact/ ) to discuss how we can help you with your project. Be sure to include your phone number so I can call you.

We genuinely appreciate your subscription, and thank you for reading our Leisure eNewsletter. Our growth depends on readers like you who enjoy it and help spread the word about our publication and work.
