Setting the Stage

So, I am calling myself the Monster Manager, but that is kind of misleading as I will no longer be the manager of Monster Golf after May 1st when the store closes. I am planning on staying with the store right up until close, kind of like a captain going down with his ship. The Golf course is indoors, complete with black lights, moving monsters and funky 80-90s rock. It really is a very cool place, and will be a loss to the community. Business isn't bad, though it is on the decline and new competitors are popping up all around us.

Before I go any further I need to say that black lights are a great thing for Family Entertainment centers, but they are not what I want to be the light I am in all day. This is a very extreme version of "not in my backyard".

When the store opened 9 years ago your entertainment options were us, Chuck E Cheese, or another mini golf course that hadn't painted a single animal on their entire course for probably 15 years. Today, there are 2 trampoline parks, us, Chuck E Cheese, An Inflatable place, A laser Tag place, A movie theater, and soon an indoor Go Kart track is opening up.

The one thing to always remember about business is that there is something to be said about being the newest thing in town. Now, there are so many newest things in town that we are often pushed to the side. The business used to have a lot of older kids for their birthdays, now we seem to have a lot of 4 or 5 year old children are becoming the norm.

Well, I don't want to get too long and boring yet so Goodnight to all zero of you reading this.
