Community gaming lounge for students, kids

Aim

We’re building a safe, community gaming lounge for all ages with high-end PCs, consoles, food, and supervision—backed by my own $20,000 also

I am seeking to raise $35,000 from fellow small business owners and community members who share my passion for positively impacting today’s youth while creating a welcoming space for the general public. Too many young people lack access to safe, supervised places where they can socialize, build friendships, and enjoy gaming in a healthy environment.

Meet Our Management Team

Our gaming lounge will be professionally managed by two highly qualified individuals, both retired military with strong backgrounds in finance and customer service. Their combined experience ensures the lounge is safe, well-organized, and customer-focused, providing a structured yet fun environment for everyone.

They will split shifts, guaranteeing that there is always experienced leadership on-site, overseeing operations, customer support, and day-to-day management.

This project will create a positive, themed gaming lounge designed to serve kids, teens, college students, and families. By locating the space in downtown Greenville, NC, in close proximity to East Carolina University (ECU), it will be easily accessible for students looking to unwind after classes or spend their free time in a fun, uplifting environment. The lounge will promote respect, teamwork, and community through gaming and social interaction.

To show my commitment, I am personally investing $25,000 of my own savings into this business. Community support will help bring this vision to life, providing young people with a safe alternative to negative influences and giving families peace of mind.
