Arcade Warehouse brings “fresh ideas” to North Shields

 

 

 

 

 

Arcade Warehouse has officially opened its third UK venue, with a new expansive arcade offering located in the Royal Quays Outlet and Independent Centre, North Shields.

The latest in a series of openings from business partners Caton Airey and Dan Rees, the site features a range of family-friendly classic cabinets, consoles and VR experiences.

“We wanted to bring the idea to Royal Quays as there are already family-oriented activities here such as Inflata Nation and Gutterball Alley,” Airey told the Gazette. “We came up to North Shields to have a look at the facilities here and decided that Royal Quays was the perfect place for us to expand our business.”

“We tested the water by opening a small shop selling gaming peripherals, My-G Gadgets Gizmos and Gaming, and that has been a success too.”

The new site employs six people, and also features a café and social space.

“The Centre is evolving constantly, and I am always looking at new, fresh ideas to welcome people here to shop, eat and enjoy themselves,” said centre manager Matt Dawson.

“We’ve already got several family-based activities both onsite and nearby which are attracting more people, especially families to enjoy their leisure time.”
