Village of Wheeling trustees, commissioners, staff, and members of the Wheeling Chamber of Commerce welcomed Headless Horseman Arcade (Arcade) to the community. The Arcade is located at 1918 S. Wolf Road in the Wolf Point Shopping Center. This is a welcome addition to the Plaza, as now the shopping center is fully-occupied by diverse shops, restaurants, and service providers. The 10,336-square-foot Arcade offers over 80 arcade games, with new titles rotated in every few weeks. Customers pay a flat rate of $20 per person for unlimited play all day.
Owner Dave Kumra felt there was a lack of entertainment options, and thus the Arcade came to fruition. Kumra is especially grateful to the broader Arcade community, as they have welcomed the Arcade with open arms. Kumra chose Wheeling for its strategic location - the Arcade is ideally located in Wheeling close to Prospect Heights, Mount Prospect, and Glenview - drawing guests throughout the north and northwest Chicagoland region.
