Description:
JoyPad is a hip, fun interactive Video Gaming Lounge. The concept is to provide an atmosphere for people who enjoy competitive video gaming in a safe and stylish environment. We will provide comfortable seating and the latest video gaming consoles and games on wall mounted flat screen tv's. I am in Little Rock, Arkansas where the per capita income is $30K and I have been a life long resident. Our state has produced several notable figures and we have gained quite a bit of interest for businesses throughout the US due to the low tax rates and land costs. The locations I have chosen are in the heart of the most progressive part of our state and near the most prominent freeway accesses. I have a business plan that has received high approval from Arkansas Small Business Associations as well as several local banks, however with the current economic climate it is becoming increasingly difficult to get funding. With the growing popularity of the video gaming culture and the massive amount of money it generates JoyPad will help to foster the relationship of the consumer and the video gaming market by giving those same consumers a place to compete in good clean fun. Much like the Arcades of the 70's with beautiful leather couches & LCD TV's mounted for the 2008 look & style!
