Being a small business owner, especially an owner (or operator) of a family entertainment center is one of the most rewarding positions you can have.
You provide a place where adults and children alike can escape their worries and stresses of everyday life to make memories together they'll remember for years to come.
It isn't always easy though. Being a small business owner requires a lot of hard work, overcoming adversity, a positive attitude, and trust in yourself and your staff that your commitment to service-first approach will lead to long-term success.
