What is HomeGamers?
Game Room Franchise Opportunity
HomeGamers
is an exciting mall based retail concept that is offering franchise
opportunities. HomeGamers combines home
entertainment products and licensed sports products to create a
store that is focused on adults but is also fun for the
family. In our stores you will see a large selection of
billiard tables and supplies, poker tables and accessories, slot
machines, casino games, air hockey, foosball and ping-pong tables,
arcade games, neon signs, juke boxes, bars, game tables, bar stools
and home theatre furniture.
As the name HomeGamers suggests, we sell cool games that go in homes and we sell products that support the home teams and so much more! Who said work isn’t fun? When you own the coolest store around, everyday is exciting!
How is HomeGamers different?
HomeGamers
is a brand new concept that combines two growth industries (home
entertainment and licensed sports products). The home
entertainment market is huge and continues to grow as people are
investing more in their homes and are finding better ways to spend
time with their friends, children and families. The rise in game
room additions is a reflection of this and the increased popularity
of games such as billiards, poker, ping pong, and others.
HomeGamers provides a complete one-stop shopping
experience for all of these products, but that is just half of the
excitement. The other niche market that
HomeGamers cashes in on is the licensed sports and
entertainment products. Sports are an integral part of
today’s society and the fans go crazy over their local
teams. There is no limit to what a sports fanatic will buy,
so that is why HomeGamers retails the widest selection of local
sports merchandise as well as Harley Davidson, Jack Daniels and
many licensed beer and novelty company products. If you are
in a market with these type devoted fans or licensed product
enthusiasts, you could be selling huge amounts of products,
potentially earning you a very nice return on your
investment!
