US FEC operator Main Event Entertainment’s newest centre is scheduled to open 1 September at The District at Chesterfield, a new retailtainment complex in the St. Louis area. The 50,000-square-foot facility will have 22 bowling lanes, a multi-level laser tag arena, a rock-climbing wall, a gravity ropes course, virtual reality experiences, an arcade with more than 100 games and a restaurant and bar.
Intercard technology is used throughout Main Event’s more than 40 family entertainment centres across the US.
“For more than 20 years, Intercard has been proud to help Main Event bring its leading brand of family entertainment to 16 states across the country,” said Scott Sherrod, CEO of Intercard. “Main Event is a pioneer of the FEC concept and Intercard is a pioneer in cashless technology so it’s been a mutually rewarding partnership. With the opening of its newest centre in St. Louis, we are also proud to be able to call them neighbours at last.”
