Opportunities During A Pandemic
SEIZING THE OPPORTUNITY IN THE NOW: VACANT RETAIL SPACES ARE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR POP-UP ARCADES
Luke could see the opportunities in the increasing number of vacant retail spaces; with low rent or no rent and no manpower required, the risk is very low, so he worked with the mall operator to set up a Pop-Up Arcade, knowing the consumer surge after the lockdown period equals high foot traffic of parents passing by with their children, who will have a place to stop and play games.
The Pop-Up Arcade is unmanned, and Luke says “the Embed [self-service kiosk] acts like a staff member. Surprised me how much people actually use it, and the amount of people who use it… obviously, no contact with staff…great machine, I really recommend that one.” Plus, anyone with an existing Ticket Time game card can use them at his pop-up arcade. One system supporting multiple sites.
By viewing the current situation through the lens of opportunity, Luke has managed to create opportunities and reap the rewards; never underestimating the transformative power of having a growth mindset.
