After the arcade dump of the late 90s it was a pet store for a few years before they dummied the whole thing for the Reno.

I think 7-11 stores were more popular for gaming than the pure arcades in malls, I remember line-ups at these stores all day/all night to play a game, after that in the middle/late 90's the bars and pubs got the higher tech driving games like "Daytona USA" and shooters like "Buck Hunter" that never stopped getting loonies.
Game operators made a fortune back then.
