Amusement Entertainment Management has opened its newest client facility, 814 Lanes and Games, located in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, according to a press release. The 40,000-square-foot facility, owned and operated by brothers Bobby and Chris Hogue, features 24 lanes of bowling, amusement games, a multi-level laser tag arena, escape rooms and virtual reality-driven experiences. The venue's premium restaurant and bar offering will allow the facility to service the family, adult and corporate event markets.

Jerry Merola, AEM's managing partner, began working with the Hogues in 2018, crafting the market feasibility study and strategic plan in advance of securing bank financing. AEM's documents were used to complete the bank underwriting process, which permitted the Hogues to purchase the land and building and begin the process of transforming a traditional bowling facility into a multi-attraction dining and entertainment experience.
