You have Workshops for crafters, alopments for those that like gardening. Is there a ground floor kind of place I could rent for my big boys rooms. Where I could put stuff like a pool table, Air Hocky, Arcades and sound system. Pinball machines. etc. I think it would be impossible to get arcade machines into my apartment with out either injuring myself damaging something or someone dying. :(

I don't know what I should Google. I would need one floor, toilet, electric and plenty of power points. That's pretty much it. I mean surely the rent would be super cheap as it would litterly be storage space with power points. That could be done up nice.
 
Sounds like you've come up with a great business idea there mate :)

Find an old warehouse/factory and some wealthy investors.... game on!
 
Also known as a garage. :p

Not sure if such a business exists that rents out floor space that can be used in this mannor. You might be best off asking around friends/family to see if others know of such a space.

Most rental space would be too much or a waste just for you just to put arcade games and pool table in.
 
I would start my own business but I really don't I could go it alone as starting an amusements is blinking expensive. I may have a couple of grand but that wouldn't get me far. I'd need a partner. That could invest with me and compile ideas and plans. The good thing is you wouldn't constantly need to restock. Only replace the odd machine now and then to keep people interested. Maybe have a bar and candy machines. I hear machines can be had rent free too. Most companies lend them on a 40% of the taking of each machine.

Also I don't know if amusements are as popular as they were in the 80s and 90s. It's a shame these days amusements are just full of fuit machines and no video arcades. This is one of the main reasons I stop going in them when I go on Holiday.

My family have ago at me when I have these silly dreams of mine.
