Raleigh businessman Jeff Oehler has the arcade coming to you. Games2U is a mobile video game van that brings the arcade experience to parties and events. The van is decked out with flat screen TVs, satellite dishes and a sound system.

The cliche that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" certainly doesn't apply when it comes to brothers David and Stuart Pikoff of Austin-based Games2U Entertainment. When they started their business, there was no other service like it in the area. "My brother and I are just fun, lighthearted guys," says David Pikoff. Inspired by the fun they like to have, they took the idea of a video arcade, and gave it a modern twist.

Two new valley companies are showing that a sheet cake and bouquet of balloons are nothing to celebrate with these days. One caters to celebrating for and with girls between the ages of 2 and 16, and the other literally brings the entertainment to events for any age or occasion.

Games2U, a mobile entertainment venue equipped with game systems, laser tag and a human hamster ball, has been making its way through the valley since a Henderson couple was introduced to the nationwide venue at a wedding last year.

In this video, Games2U's co-founder, David Pikoff, is interviewed on Fox Business News. In the interview, David describes the Games2U party experience, including the new 4D Theater, Booger Wars, and other unique entertainment experiences. They also discuss Games2U franchise opportunities. Visit http://www.games2u.com for more information.

Cathy Rogers and Loren Willcock, mother-and-son business partners, are, in some ways, driving by the seat of their pants.

They opted to open a franchise in Annapolis in April during the worst economy in decades, with a business concept totally reliant on disposable income.

Franchises are becoming an increasingly popular and easy way for anyone to start their own business from home, thanks to entrepreneurs like David and Stuart Pikoff.

What could be better than a multi-gaming theater equipped with six LCD flat screen televisions, four Xbox 360 consoles, two Playstation 3 game stations and two Ninetendo Wiis?

How about a state-of-the-art outfitted gaming theater gone mobile?
