A new business

in the Fayetteville Corners (World Gym/Hobby lobby) shopping center in

Fayetteville should be of interest to families with preteens.

Nickelmania

Family Fun Center opened April 1 with almost 100 arcade games, most of

which cost just five cents to play. The most expensive games are interactive

and cost 20 cents.

Nickelmania

partners Drew and Tana Thompson of Fayetteville and Shrivica and Russell

Phillips of Lithonia noticed that after going out to eat and to the movies,

there's not a lot for families to do in Fayetteville.

When considering

a business venture in the Fayette market, they concluded a family entertainment

enterprise would be a welcome addition.

The resulting

family fun center offers a party room with hostess services which can

accommodate up to 50, and 30 games are played through a ticket redemption

program, paying off in prizes ranging from stickers to bicycles, as well

as the remaining arcade games.

The Thompsons

are newcomers to the Fayette business scene, but have owned three paging/cellular

stores and a recording studio in the metro Atlanta market over the past

10 years. They sold the last of these businesses last spring and made

a decision to reinvest closer to home.

The Phillipses

operate a pressure washing service in addition to their newest enterprise.

Nickelmania

is open seven days, Monday through Saturday, 10-10, and Sunday from noon

to 8 p.m. For information, phone 678-817-5994.
