<\/a><\/p>\n

It seems that recreation rooms {Rec Rooms} are making a comeback. But these Rec Rooms are a tad different than those from the 1950’s. According to the New York Times, \u201cwell-equipped recreation rooms are
\nbecoming a more popular destination for both relatives and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

The folks over at HomeGamers<\/strong> feel that they have a winner on their hands: <\/p>\n

A HomeGamers<\/strong> Franchise.<\/p>\n

Marc Heyman<\/strong>, Jeff Hinton<\/strong>, and Seth Richards, <\/strong>the founders of HomeGamers<\/strong>, started their franchise concept out of frustration.A while back, they ordered an arcade game for the new basement Rec Room. Experiencing the pleasure of paying ungodly shipping charges wasn’t quite enough to keep these partners pumped up about receiving their new arcade game. The wind had to be totally blown out of their sails first! You see, the arcade game finally did arrive.<\/em> But it didn’t work! <\/strong>They started thinking…. <\/p>\n

"Wouldn\u2019t it be great to have a local store that sold EVERYTHING people wanted and needed for their home game rooms, all under one roof?" <\/strong><\/p>\n

HomeGamers<\/strong> was born.<\/p>\n

HomeGamers<\/strong> offers the chance of becoming a small business owner, and at the same time having a blast as the owner!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

As a HomeGamers<\/strong> franchise owner, you will help homeowners equip their Rec Rooms with Pool Tables<\/strong>, Arcade Games<\/strong>, Home Slot Machines<\/strong>, Theatre Seating<\/strong>, and much much more! The Rec Rooms that homeowners are adding on are not the low budget variety. You will be providing upscale products for their new, classy Rec Rooms!<\/p>\n

Sound interesting? Check out the HomeGamers franchise website<\/strong> for information on this really unique concept…<\/p>\n

The executives at HomeGamers<\/strong> chose to become a sponsor on the StateFranchiseCenters.com<\/a> website because they felt the investment was fair. If you are a franchisor, is it time to re-look at your marketing efforts? Go here<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
