“This place is to pay homage to my father, who brought me to an old school arcade in Massachusetts called Dream Machine that closed down. This is going to be my first stepping stone toward my main goal in life, which is to be helping animals out — injured or rejected animals, I’d like to do that in the future. This is just the first step of many towards that,” said owner Brent Monteiro.
“This is hopefully going to bring everyone together as well. These games everyone can play together, all the family’s having fun and laughing, having a good time,” Monteiro added.
