Why? Why is there only one room? What alternatives are in the area for entertainment? What are the demographics, median income, population, employment rate?

Just saw this Old thread but great responses. Makes me remember how civil AZ used to be. All great ideas well articulated.

Nice. The Room down the street from me just got all new Diamonds and the vendor gave them Cyclops Balls. Two balls have split in half. Both have been replaced. Less than a year in use. Glad they guarantee them but still a bit delicate for a commercial environment. Still use Aramiths Premiers in...

Inquiry Still available.?

Smoking is banned in St. Louis City and County and multiple smaller cities around the state of MO. Our business went up dramatically after smoking was banned. Three of our competitors got temporary exemptions and all of them went under. Less people smoke than ever.

Championship Tour Edition gives you more bang for your buck. Lasts longer and stays in great shape...If it were up to me, I would have all my tables in it. BUTTTTTTTTTT>>>>> Simonis is what everyone wants. 99% of your customers can't tell the difference but reputation is everything. If you...

Follow the money and not the suggestions. Be flexible in what brings in the money. If darts and foosball bring in high dollars, treat those customers great even if it means taking out a pool table. You will always get thousands of suggestions from people who have never owned and started a...

That is an impressive routine. We struggle with keeping up doing our room at half the rate of yours. Some things we do more (sweeping cigs off the sidewalk several times a day) but most are less and it is overwhelming. Great list and schedule.

Also sent you my direct email. Thank you and look forward to talking. I enjoy conversation and different views on business plans and perspectives.

As long as the owner is making more money or losing less money than a traditional night. If you pick the night the owner only makes $100.00 and there is enough players to make MORE than $100.00 in reduced table time or snack sales you can work it out. We have league two nights a week in my room...

Perception of owners vs customers is very different. Truth is we have not even come close to breaking even on pool time in most of the 50 years we have been in business. Keep in mind we have ZERO rent with that claim. Pool players many times pick a place based on rates only. Not all players...

A lot of interesting opinions. I don't understand how having a room full doesnt increase expenses. It always does for me. .More lights are on. The door is constantly open from smokers running inside and out, air conditioning runs more. More people to clean up after and maintenance on equipment...

No alcohol here. Celebrating our 50th year owning a room. Minimal drama, less damage to tables this way for us. Our room is subsidized from retail sales. They account for 93% of our income. 17 table billiard parlor accounts for 7% ballpark. Makes it kid friendly this way. Lot of municipalities...
