We\u2019ve got some \u201cinside baseball\u201d news for the industry today, but it is an interesting development from both the distribution and operations sides of things \u2013 let\u2019s discuss GENDA\u2019s latest moves into the US as they acquire Player One Amusement Group (also known as P1AG).<\/p>\n
Also as a note \u2013 we\u2019ve made some backend changes to the site here, which had kept us from posting, but now the site should be running silky smooth for a change. There may still be a couple of hiccups here and there, but overall that should be resolved.<\/p>\n
For some quick background on who the players are, so that this makes sense in the event that you have no idea who these companies are.<\/p>\n
Player One Amusement Group is both an amusement equipment distributor and a route\/location operator. As they state on their website<\/a>, the \u201cgroup\u201d part of their name is how they are the merger of six companies, all with experience in different aspects of amusement. They tend to have a booth at shows like IAAPA, and anyone in the industry for a time would be familiar with them. They were the company that had Hulk Hogan and some other celebrity wrestlers\/fighters at this past IAAPA to promote a new prize merchandizer. They are headquartered in Toronto, Canada.<\/p>\n
