Grinkers Grand Palace

Grinkers Grand Palace, a beloved arcade in Eagle, ID, has sadly closed its doors permanently after eight years of providing arcade awesomeness. The collection of games has been sold to a fellow arcade collector in the Salt Lake area, ensuring that the impressive collection will be kept together and combined with other vintage titles. Despite the closure, the former owner plans to open a small sandwich shop in downtown Eagle to support the staff, although this plan has been canceled due to the staff's unanimous decision to decline continued employment.

The new owner of the Grinkers collection has expressed their commitment to preserving the spirit of the classic 80's arcade and ensuring that the collection remains intact. They have plans to recreate the iconic Hull building from the movie Tron in Utah County, Utah, complete with a second-story balcony HQ and basement upgrades. This new arcade venue will house 600 games and serve as a legacy gift to the community, with periodic additions of new retro-style games from both the community and the owner's own team.
