What happened to the FUN-N-GAMES chain of video game arcades that uses to be in all over the place?

Question

It used to be that there were half a dozen video arcades owned by this chain in my area. The one at Park Side Mall closed when the mall was scheduled to be demolished. Then 5 months later they pulled out of Tyrone Mall and every other location in Pinellas County. Are there any locations still open owned by this chain anywhere?

Additional Details

Thanks for the Lead. I see there is one in Brandon, FL. Does anyone know if there are any more in FL?

I would have to say, while games are getting more high tech, people spend a lot of money on their own game systems.
This being said, the strain on the video game industry is growing very large. After someone puts down $400.00 on a game machine, I would have to say that a person is less inclined to be spending two bucks for 5 minutes on a newer high-tech game.

There might be one in the Adventura Mall. We used to have one at the Alderwood Mall here in Washington State, but I don't think it's there anymore.

Perhaps they were bought out. Sorry for no conclusive answer.
