ARCADE OF THE WEEK – Game Grid Arcade, West Valley City, UT

aotwlogo

Welcome to our weekly showcase, Arcade Of The Week! The purpose of this page is to raise the profile of any single arcade location for a small fee – so yes, it will be paid advertising and that will be clear at the top. We are doing this as it is fairly rare for small businesses to reach a worldwide audience of arcade fans, while also helping us cover some site expenses. Your arcade will also be mentioned as the AotW on our social media! Also, it does not matter where in the world this arcade is 😉

If you want your arcade to be the feature for an upcoming AotW, let us know!
