Would have used “Game Over” but Columbus Business First already used that one:
“Game over for GameWorks at Easton“.
Appears they closed for good last night.

well, there’s a card with money on it I can just throw away.
Jillians,Buckeye Hall of Fame,GameworksCongratulations to Dave and Buster’s on becoming champions of the over-sized, novelty, non-gambling, entertainment machine market in Columbus.
Wow, really?
The only one of that ilk that i miss is Malibu.
Never been to D&B, or any of the others.
Part of me wishes there’d be a resurgence in seedy arcades in this country. I spent a lot of my late teens and early twenties hop-scotching arcades of dubious repute around central FL late at night.
Wow. Walked past it on Friday. It seemed pretty busy as always.
From what I hear this was a move made purely by SEGA. There was supposed to be a meet and great for the Clippers there next week. I should probably call about that and see what’s happening.
This is really a surprise. Especially because last week i started seeing commercials for them on tv (fox 28 mostly) for the first time i can remember. Also because whenever I am at the mall it is pretty busy. Here’s the link to the business first article: http://columbus.bizjournals.com/columbus/stories/2010/03/29/daily7.html?ed=2010-03-29&ana=e_du_pub which says that the Columbus location was one of the best performing in the chain, looks like things aren’t going to well for sega these days…
Huge, vacant space to fill. What could they put in there?
I never went to the Jillians in Columbus, but the one in Boston was the shit in the late 90s, I loved that place.
The Clippers are currently working on an alternative—they just found out about the closing this morning.
Apparently it was a lease-issue. As another poster alluded to above, it was actually one of the most profitable of all of the Gameworks franchises.
I’m glad I didn’t buy one! I was a little irritated that Vic’s left their gift certificates available for purchase, knowing they weren’t going to be honoring them after the end of the month. Anybody want one? I can’t possibly use all 4 in the next 2 days.
hot topic megastore?
…
kidding…
I thought they backed off that? Looking back in that thread it seems they are pretty much honoring them, as of now.
Rus,
Just what we need…
But yeah, what could the property managers do with that space? Banquets and meetings come to mind but you already have competition with the Hilton, Shriners and whatever else is up that way.
Superhuge nightclub?
The only access to their basement space is through the main Gameworks entrance. You could subdivide the space out but who would take it?
Not a bad idea, really.
Weren’t some people on here looking at the potential w/ Club Ice?
Huge opportunity for Easton here…
“Easton feels fortunate we have a waiting list of tenants,†Duffey said.
Indoor roller coaster.
What a shame. I wonder what they could do with that space…
