“We figured we needed something fun to do,” said Brochert.

Everybuddies Game Café starts out with approximately 250 board games, five game consoles and four arcade games and Legos. They also sell puzzles and games out of their location.

The buzz has been positive thus far for the new business, Brochert added.

“We’re getting a good mix of people,” she said.

The new game café has already been contacted by schools looking to have field trips, with the older crowd also invited to have coffee, enjoy baked goods and put together a puzzle or play a game of their own. Baked goods and food that is being served is homemade, Brochert added.

Everybuddies Game Café is located at 216 Sandwich St. S., and they are also teaming with neighbouring Naples Pizza and Rosa’s across the street to serve pizza and pasta if a customer desires.

“The idea has been there for a while,” she said of the game café. They started working in the building in February. Future plans also call for outdoor movie nights and other special events.

Hours at Everybuddies Game Café are currently Thursday-Sunday from 3-10 p.m. They are also open to host private events during the week including birthday parties and outings for businesses. Brochert, whose son Max also works at the game café, also operates Little Buddies Child Care and they will use the new business as a way to relieve stress and improve mental health for their staff.

“It’s a wellness project people can do with their staff,” she said.

Brochert added they invite the public to their family-owned business.

“Between the four of us, hopefully we can make it work,” she said.

Prue thanked the family for investing in Amherstburg and taking the risk to open their own small business.

“I hope to see this place filled every night with people having fun,” said the mayor.
