Caine's Arcade

Dedication, imagination and

 entrepreneurial spirit knows no age.  

Nine-year old, Caine from East LA showed the world, with a little help, how his passion has become a reality.  

Caine loves arcades, but most of his time is spent at his Dad's auto part shop surrounded by empty boxes.  So one day took Caine took his resources and create a cardboard box arcade. He waited patiently until his first customer arrived.  Coincidentally, his first customer, a film producer, was inspired by Caine and wanted to spread the word about Caine's Arcade.

The film highlights the power of social media and how it can strengthen any movement 

AND

 creativity, dedication and customer service are still the driving forces behind a good business.

This will be short and sweet.

Short … The Appreciation Picnic is rescheduled for this Thursday, May 10. We know we originally said the rain date would be next Tuesday but we just can’t wait until then (and we’re supposed to get more rain next week).

Sweet … Good news is that the next three days are supposed to be sunny and mild (not the 90-degree temperatures we had this past weekend).  And…

Previously ordered "To Go" meals can still be picked-up at your scheduled time and location on Thursday, May 10.
