For years, New Jersey residents who had a hankering for a game of Skee-Ball paired with a tall brew had to cross state lines into New York or Pennsylvania for one of Dave & Buster’s venues.
But by the end of the year, the Garden State will have two Dave & Buster’s if all goes according to plan for developers — both of which will take over the top floor of Sears stores at malls.
The race is on for Wayne and Woodbridge to be the first town to open the sports bar and amusement game venue. Both expected to be open in the last three months of the year.
The announcements were met with a good amount of excitement from locals.
So, now we’re left wondering: where else could the Texas-based chain expand in New Jersey?
The arcade, bar company lobbied for years to get the 56-year ban lifted in the state allowing the chain to move in. So what’s next?
Dave & Buster’s hasn’t responded to our request for comment for future plans, so we’re turning to our readers.
Where would you like to see a Dave & Buster’s open? Any empty spaces in malls or maybe the second floor of a store you wouldn’t mind seeing renovated?
