Back in the late 1970s, in Little Rock, Arkansas, there was a guy named Buster who opened a place known for great food and wonderful service.

Just a couple doors down the street, a fellow named Dave had a spot that was known for fun games and entertainment.

The two noticed that people seem to flow in and out of both establishments. Why not get together?

Well, the first Dave & Buster's opened in Dallas in 1982. On Monday, March 6, they are putting store number 95 on the map in Overland Park, just off 135th Street and Metcalf.

According to General Manager Ken McNiel, there are more than 150 games here and up to 250 people can be playing at any one time.

Overland Park's store is 40,000 square feet of fun, food and friendly folks. Oh, and plenty of big screens to catch all the sports action.

In addition to the games, there are chef-crafted menu items like the all new BBBacon Burger, with three B’s standing for three types of bacon.

And, one-of-a-kind cocktails like the one with the glowing ice cube.

So get ready to skedaddle to skee ball! Prepare to Pac-Man! Get moving with Mario!

Starting Monday, there’s a new official headquarters to eat, drink, be merry and, just maybe, walk out with a giant stuffed Pikachu.
