Our latest social eatertainment project
In 1999, Dave and Ruth met at an 8-ball pool league night. After quickly hitting it off, they became tournament directors at their local pool hall. In 2001, they bought a small 2,500-square-foot pool hall, Gallery Billiards, and have operated it successfully since.
In late 2022, they contacted our company to help them find a larger store to relocate to. They identified a vacant 8,300-square-foot store with ample parking and a receptive landlord. We assessed market feasibility, assisted with lease negotiations, and prepared pro forma projections for their bank loan. We then designed their new location as a social eatertainment venue, rebranded as Gallery Social (gallerybilliards.com/ ) .
The new location in Newburgh, NY, has 13 billiard and pool tables, up from 8 at the old location; 4 lanes of duckpin bowling; 3 Krazy Darts; and a full kitchen and bar that weren't available at the old location.
Gallery Social opened in June. Here are a few photos:
