Portal LAN Arcade (“Portal”) will be the premier, high-tech social gaming venue in Omaha that provides high-powered, high energy network access for up to a hundred PC gamers at any given time. Gamers also have the option of plugging their own systems straight into the network. Gamers also have the option to choose from one of the high-end gaming computers already available. The more crowded the venue, the higher the energy and social enjoyment each participant experiences. The comradery of the gaming community, combined with the amped up atmosphere, themed environment, techy decorum, and all hours access fosters a fun, safe, and friendly meeting place for gamers to show off their expert gaming skills, test new hardware, meet other gamers, and hone their battling skills. The target market is moderate to die hard PC gamers between the ages of 18 to 38 with an income of at least $26k. No other venue in Omaha offers a similar setup. At Portal, the environment will provide an unforgettable and unique experience that excites its gamers, making them want to come back time and again. The aesthetics are very important to Portal as well as the social aspect its venue will bring with it. Much like a bar patron can make drinks at home cheaper, gamers will come to Portal for the social experience and to take advantage of the convenience of a completely assembled, high-tech network with virtually no latency. Omaha is host to one or two major local area network (''LAN'') party conventions each year and they sell out with each participant required to bring their own PC. The greatest value Portal brings to its gamers is an advanced network with the capability to instantaneously accommodate many simultaneous users at a time combined with a unique social atmosphere that caters to the gaming community’s social enjoyment and needs. Ease of use and advanced gaming equipment sales, rentals, and services will further enhance the brand Portal intends to build.
