The grand opening of the world’s first Pac-Man Zone arcade in Abu Dhabi is taking place today.
This new concept in arcade theming is being unveiled by Bandai Namco at the Sparky’s Entertainment Centre in the Mushriff Mall, run by Saudi-based FEC operator Al Hokair Group.
Pac-Man Zone combines branded Pac-Man machines, non-branded games and a unique arcade décor. In addition, Bandai Namco Prize Division has developed a range of Pac-Man themed prizes and merchandise for use in prize vending and redemption counters.
“It is fitting that the first Pac-Man Zone should be in a Sparky’s location,” said John McKenzie, managing director of Bandai Namco Amusement Europe. “The Al Hokair Group is a valued operator and customer and hugely proactive in the Middle East region. This fits our aim to create Pac-Man Zones only in the most prestigious locations.”
Majed Al Hokair, CEO of the Al Hokair Group, said his company is “very excited” to have the first Pac-Man Zone at Sparky’s.
“We are impressed with the quality of the design, merchandise and games and we expect it to be extremely popular with our customers.”
