Games2U Throws 'Rock Star' Parties for KidsThe days of having an average, run-of-the-mill birthday party are over for Palm Beach County kids. Games2U, a mobile video game theater, is rolling into town and is poised to fill a major void in the multi-billion dollar party segment. Looking for a way to combine their entrepreneurial skills with their passion for having fun, Paige and Steve Graves launched a Games2U franchise in Palm Beach County, which mixes two of the most popular entertainment segments for kids - video games and laser tag - into one vehicle that's delivered to the door step of the party child.
"Kids are tired of going to a bowling alley or roller skating for their birthdays," said Paige Graves. "We are offering everyone the chance to have a 'rock star' birthday party at an affordable price."

Ocean Springs couple's franchise will bring the games to youNot long ago, Ocean Springs resident Kelly Bailey was researching independent business opportunities on the Internet and his eyes lit up. The Air Force reservist and his wife, Lynne, always wanted to work for themselves, but hadn't quite found the right fit, he said, though that was about to change. "I called my 10-year-old son, Collin, over to the computer and played this short video I'd found," Kelly Bailey said. "And he immediately started jumping up and down saying, 'Dad, that's what I want for my birthday, that's what I want!'
"I looked at my wife and said, 'This is what we need to get into.'"
When all was said and done, Collin got his birthday wish, and his parents got their business.

Arcade business leaves boy feeling like a rock starEven if it was just for one afternoon as he marked his ninth birthday, Potomac resident Noah Kaplan-Davis got to feel like a rock star.
On Sunday, the nearly 30 partygoers who had arrived to help the Fallsmead Elementary third-grader celebrate screamed at the top of their lungs and crowded around as a giant van emitting a misty gray smoke arrived at his driveway.
It wasn't overheating — the smoke was from a built-in fog machine. Inside, the van — known as a "Mobile Video Game Theater" — also featured three built-in flat screen televisions, a laser-light show, and subwoofers beneath each seat. Mounted on the outside of the van were another two video screens, allowing for 20 children at a time to try their hand at video games like Guitar Hero and Mario Kart for Nintendo Wii.

Unique franchise gives fun spin to serious businessCathy Rogers and Loren Willcock had found "the one."
After months of searching, the mother and son team found their dream business on the Web. What hooked them? A big, flashy van with four huge, flat-screen televisions on the inside and out for playing video games (equipped for 12 on the inside and eight outside). There was a strobe light inside and a setup for laser tag bunkers and an inflatable ball that allows kids to get inside and roll around like hamsters. There was even a satellite on top of the van to allow participants to watch sports games, whether parked in the middle of the woods or by the river. Willcock had always been an avid gamer. It would be a smash hit in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area, they thought. It was love at first sight.
