Game Room Franchise

What is HomeGamers?

Game Room Franchise Opportunity

HomeGamers is an exciting mall based retail concept that is offering franchise opportunities.  HomeGamers combines home entertainment products and licensed sports products to create a store that is focused on adults but is also fun for the family.  In our stores you will see a large selection of billiard tables and supplies, poker tables and accessories, slot machines, casino games, air hockey, foosball and ping-pong tables, arcade games, neon signs, juke boxes, bars, game tables, bar stools and home theatre furniture. 

As the name HomeGamers suggests, we sell cool games that go in homes and we sell products that support the home teams and so much more!  Who said work isn’t fun? When you own the coolest store around, everyday is exciting! 

How is HomeGamers different?

HomeGamers is a brand new concept that combines two growth industries (home entertainment and licensed sports products).  The home entertainment market is huge and continues to grow as people are investing more in their homes and are finding better ways to spend time with their friends, children and families. The rise in game room additions is a reflection of this and the increased popularity of games such as billiards, poker, ping pong, and others.  HomeGamers provides a complete one-stop shopping experience for all of these products, but that is just half of the excitement.  The other niche market that HomeGamers cashes in on is the licensed sports and entertainment products.  Sports are an integral part of today’s society and the fans go crazy over their local teams.  There is no limit to what a sports fanatic will buy, so that is why HomeGamers retails the widest selection of local sports merchandise as well as Harley Davidson, Jack Daniels and many licensed beer and novelty company products.  If you are in a market with these type devoted fans or licensed product enthusiasts, you could be selling huge amounts of products, potentially earning you a very nice return on your investment!
