""We hired 155 of the most talented Oakland people to bring the fun to the city. This is going to bring good times, a place to distract and a safe place to have fun," said Gil Sumlin, general manager of Dave & Buster's at Jack London Square."
""We have an incredible waterfront in downtown Oakland. It is accessible by train, by BART and by foot and it is another amazing reason to come down here," said Savlan Hauser, executive director of the Jack London Improvement District."
""It opens the door for several different opportunities," said Oakland City Council Member Carroll Fife, who represents District 3."
Dave & Buster's has opened a new location on Oakland's waterfront, featuring a restaurant, sports-bar atmosphere, and arcade. The grand opening included a ribbon-cutting ceremony and free unlimited video game play for the first 100 guests. The general manager stated that 155 local employees were hired, contributing to local employment. Community leaders believe the venue will attract more visitors to the area, especially after a new state law lifted restrictions on business types in Jack London Square, allowing for more opportunities.
