We want to continue to provide diversified surveys for our readers and bring you this very new, very small restaurant concept known as uWink. The restaurants offer video games as the tables and also allow for self ordering over the video game terminal. It is a new concept and management of uWink formerly ran Atari and Chuck E Cheese.
We called and asked a few brief questions to see how the one restaurant was doing and where any expansions might be heading. We called the restaurant 8 times over a few days and asked if we needed reservations. The answer was “No” 7 times and “yes” once. Half of our calls were during the day so we would not expect reservations to be needed for lunch generally speaking.
As far as new locations, the staff at uWink offered several insights. Dallas and Miami were mentioned. We believe that the uWink management has publicly stated that a Miami franchisee is expected and the company put out a press release disclosing the new Dallas store. In addition to these locations, employees we called talked about two new locations to be opened in January 2008. Potential locations for these two new stores were identified to us as Valencia, Burbank or Northridge.
