The problem with Pool is multilayered but there are a few big problems.
Its in a place that serves alcohol so kids can't go there on their own.
That is the biggest problem we have. We aren't creating places that support our grass to grow.
Actually not all rooms are bars. As an example Amazing Billiards in Malden MA. No Alcohol.
Though most do. I was thinking purely about pool as the main income not alcohol with games to play (Darts, Pool, Corn Hole, Air Hockey, Fush Ball etc.).
But yes, in bars my business model would have troubles being successful for sure...
