Over 250 new jobs were brought to Kentwood.  All the employees that I spoke to during the pre-grand opening were excited about their new work opportunities. The most popular games on the day of my visit were the large, colorful Candy Crush and Star Wars Battle Pod.  But there’s also the old favorites of air hockey, skee ball, and spin the wheel.  And like other arcades, if you win enough tickets, the prize wall awaits! I think Fun is Dave & Buster’s middle name.   The bright lights, color, laughter, and state of the art audio,visual and lighting systems greet you upon entering.D and B 12 It’s the official headquarters to Eat, Drink, Play and Watch Sports.  Check it out.
